Soon new features will be available on Whatsapp. As the tech giant is working on a number of new features, which should be available shortly. According to reports, the firm is working on. To learn more, keep reading.
New option for last seen- WhatsApp is planning to introduce the ability to hide a contact’s last seen in the near future. WaBetaInfo discovered this functionality, which is anticipated to make its way into the stable version shortly. The new option will be available to iOS and Android users, according to the cited source.
In the privacy settings, the messaging service is scheduled to include a “My contacts except” option, which will allow users to enable last seen for select contacts. When you don’t want to show some individuals when you were last online on WhatsApp, this function will come in handy. It’s worth noting that if you don’t share your last seen with anyone, you won’t be able to see the last seen of others and vice-versa.
Disappearing Chats- A new disappearing chat feature might also be coming shortly. This option will be accessible for both one-on-one and group WhatsApp conversations, according to WaBetaInfo. This is an addition to the current feature of vanishing messages.
New conversation threads “will automatically convert new chat threads to ephemeral chat. This may be found under Privacy. After you enable it, all of the messages in any new chat or group are said to vanish after a brief time.
In case one doesn’t want there to be disappeared then the chat disappearing should be kept off. It is also said that WhatsApp will also notify the users when the disappearing messages will be enabled. The functionality was just discovered in WhatsApp beta version 2.21.18.7.
Group icon editor, redesigned group info page: A new group icon editor function was found in Android beta version 2.21.20.2, indicating that the Facebook-owned firm is working on it. When users don’t have a picture for a group, the new functionality will allow them to easily generate one. You’ll also have the option of changing the icon’s background color. Emojis and stickers might be added to WhatsApp as well.
Aside from the group icon editor, the messaging service is working on a makeover of the group details page, which might include chat and call icons at the forefront. According to WaBetaInfo, this change was discovered in the WhatsApp for iOS beta version 2.21.190.15. The new design appears to include larger chat, audio, and video call buttons. It’s possible that the admins will be allowed to distribute the invite URL as well. Both functionalities may be accessible in the near future.
High-resolution photos and videos- WhatsApp encodes videos and pictures substantially to allow users to transmit them to their friends fast. However, not everyone is pleased with sending low-quality media. According to WaBetaInfo, the business is planning to add a new function to the app that would allow users to choose the quality of video or photo uploads. Users will soon be able to pick between a ‘Best Quality’ option, a ‘Data Saver’ mode, and an Auto mode to decide the quality of video clips they post, according to the report.
Images into stickers- The messaging app is going to add a new feature that will allow users to transform their pictures into stickers, according to WaBetaInfo. Users will see a new sticker symbol next to the caption bar when they submit a new image to the app once the functionality is pushed out to them.
When you choose that symbol, WhatsApp will send the image as a sticker rather than a standard image. Users will be able to confirm if the image you supplied is a sticker or not, according to the given source. This functionality is presently being developed and is accessible in the desktop beta version 2.2137.3.
