- WhatsApp has just rolled an abundance of new features and features for chats and calls
- This includes zoom for video calls, scanning and sending documents directly from WhatsApp and a new way of prioritizing groupchat messages
- Out of all the new additions, however, there are two who have not been sitting with users
The aftermath of Apple’s latest iOS 18.4 update is still lasting and we all come to intervene in its list of new features. When
Now I say ‘Big Update’, but it’s a bit of an understatement as WhatsApp’s list of new upgrades is comprehensive and includes less new features such as smoother video call quality and vocal announcement rallying on channels. However, there are nine prominent features that we think are interesting additions to the messaging platform, but two of them have rubbed us the wrong way.
An abundance of new features
First of all, despite how small scale some of the new features are, there are a handful that can have a significant influence on your WhatsApp experience, starting with its simple clamp-to-zoom feature in video call.
It is taken WhatsApp a significant amount of time to catch up with them as FaceTime, where users have been able to zoom in for a while, but regardless of the delay from WhatsApp’s side, this is an advantage I know that frequent video call users like myself will harvest. In addition to this new call feature, WhatsApp now allows you to add someone to a running 1: 1 call from a chat wire.
Call to page, WhatsApp has brought even more features to its chat department. If you are an iPhone user who is digging against WhatsApp as opposed to using its flagship iMessage Service, there is now a way for you to set WhatsApp as your default, provided you have installed the latest version of iOS. All you have to do is go to your iPhone settings, select default apps and select WhatsApp.
It doesn’t stop there. WhatsApp doubles on its integration with your daily and personal life and introduces new event updates in 1: 1 chat 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 can benefit WhatsApp users include video notes (such as voting notes) for channels that allow administrators to immediately record and share videos up to 60 seconds. Finally, you can highlight messages in groups, giving you an easier way to prioritize your group chat messages.
Generally, the new additions to WhatsApp pack a lot of value, although some may have a slightly less influence than others. But of course there are two other features that WhatsApp has added that haven’t quite sat well with users – one that made a pretty bad impression this week.
If you’ve been out of Løkken, WhatsApp introduced a new Meta AI button in EU regions that you can’t remove from the app’s UI -leading to a riot of angry WhatsApp users.
Essentially an AI -Chatbot feature is Meta’s new button in WhatsApp a place for users to go to a variety of features such as answering questions or generating content. But the function itself is not necessarily what users are crazy about, and it has more to do with the fact that they have not been able to remove it.
Quietly introduced in WhatsApp’s recent wave of new features, there is now a way to see who in your group chat is online, thanks to a new feature that shows you real -time status for each member of a group chat. This is obviously less of headache compared to the pristine meta button, but it means there is much more pressure that needs to be fast in your answers.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a punctual text replicas, but we have all the days when we just don’t have the energy to deal with our group cat-ice when planning goes terribly wrong or you just don’t want to answer a particular person. This new feature makes it easier for your friends and family to call you out, and WhatsApp knows exactly what it is doing.
