- WhatsApp has just launched a lot of new features and functions for chats and calls
- This includes zoom for video calls, scan and send documents directly from WhatsApp, and a new way of prioritizing notifications of group chat
- Of all the new additions, however, there are two who have not sat well with users
Apple’s latest iOS 18.4 update are still persistent, and we are all known with its list of new features. That said, WhatsApp also has just launched its own great update, announcing new additions to its existing sections of calls, chats and channels.
Now I say ‘Great update’, but that is a underestimation, since the list of new WhatsApp updates is extensive and includes new minor features, such as video call and transcripts of voice messages in channels. However, there are nine outstanding characteristics that we believe are interesting additions to the messaging platform, but two of them have rubbed us incorrectly.
A lot of new functions
First, despite how on a small scale are some of the new features, there is a handful that could have a significant impact on his WhatsApp experience, starting with his simple pinch function in video calls.
WhatsApp has been taken a considerable amount of time to reach Facetime tastes, where users have been able to zoom for a while, but regardless of the delay by WhatsApp, this is a benefit that I know that frequent video call users such as me will reap. In addition to this new call function, WhatsApp now allows you to add someone to a 1: 1 call in progress from a chat thread.
Call one side, WhatsApp has brought even more functions to its chat section. If you are an iPhone user who gravitates to WhatsApp instead of using your Issssage flagship service, there is now a way of configuring WhatsApp as its default value, provided you have installed the latest version of iOS. All you have to do is go to the configuration of your iPhone, select predetermined applications and choose WhatsApp.
He doesn’t stop there. WhatsApp is doubling its integration with its daily and personal life, introducing new updates of events in chats 1: 1, as well as groups, as well as a new feature that allows you to scan and send documents directly from WhatsApp on iPhone.
The last two useful features that could benefit WhatsApp users include video notes (such as voice notes) for channels, allowing administrators to record and share videos instantly up to 60 seconds. Finally, you can highlight notifications in groups, giving it an easier way to prioritize the chat notifications of your group.
In general, the new additions to the WhatsApp package a lot of value, although some may have a little less impact than others. But, of course, there are two other functions that WhatsApp has added that they have not sat well with users, one that caused a very bad impression this week.
If you have been outside the loop, WhatsApp introduced a new goal button AI in the EU regions that cannot be deleted from the application user interface, which leads to an angry WhatsApp users.
Essentially an AI chatbot function, the new finish button in WhatsApp is a place for users to go for a series of functions, such as answering questions or generating content. But the function itself is not necessarily why users are angry, and it has more to do with the fact that they have not been given the option to eliminate it.
Presented in silence in the recent wave of new WhatsApp functions, there is now a way of seeing who in its group chats is online, thanks to a new function that shows the state in real time of each member in a group chat. Obviously, this is fewer headache compared to the goal untouchable button, but it means that there is much more pressure to be fast in your answers.
Do not be misunderstood, I am a specific replacement of text, but we all have those days when we do not have the energy to deal with our group chats, especially when the creation of plans goes terribly badly, or simply does not want to respond to a particular person. This new feature facilitates that your friends and family call it, and WhatsApp knows exactly what you are doing.
