Those of you who are using WhatsApp may have been wondering about the new features in the app. If so, you have come to the right place. You will learn about what the app has to offer, including status updates, group chats, and more.
Delete For Me
Delete For Me in WhatsApp is a new feature that was introduced by the company in 2017. It allows you to delete a message for everyone if you accidentally delete one for yourself. This feature is available on both Android and iOS devices.
Before you can use Delete for Me in WhatsApp you need to download the latest version of the app. You can also check if this feature is available by deleting a message for yourself. This is the fastest way to find out if the feature is available.
Before using Delete for Me in WhatsApp you need to know the limitations of this feature. This feature is only available for messages that are sent. It also does not allow you to delete inappropriate messages sent to group administrators.
View Once
Those using the mobile messaging application WhatsApp will be pleased to know that it is now possible to send and receive “view once” messages. Like Snapchat, this feature will allow you to send a photo or video that disappears after it is viewed. However, unlike Snapchat, you will not be able to forward, save or share the media with others.
To send a view once message, you will need to enter a group chat. Select the picture or video you want to send. Then tap on the “1” in the circle.
Unlike Snapchat, view once messages will not be saved to your recipient’s photo gallery. You will also be unable to screenshot or forward them.
Emoji Reactions
Messages on WhatsApp now have emoji reactions. The new feature is akin to the emoji reactions feature on Facebook Messenger and Telegram. The feature allows users to react to a message with an emoji by long pressing the message. When they release the long press, they will see a menu of all emojis available.
The new emoji reactions feature is now available to everyone. It will be available on Android and iOS devices through an update. This feature will allow users to view all of their reactions on WhatsApp.
The new feature is similar to the “Community” feature that WhatsApp introduced a couple of months ago. Essentially, users can create groups, which will allow members of the group to receive community updates. Users can also add more people to a group.
Group Chats
Using WhatsApp’s group chats is a great way to connect with friends, regardless of their location. And it’s now easier than ever to create your own group chat. To start a group chat, you’ll need at least one member from your contacts list. You can also create a private group chat.
One of the best features of WhatsApp group chats is the mention feature. You can tell the group members that a message has been sent to them by mentioning it. You’ll receive a notification, but the actual message is not visible.
There are also some less-known features, like group video calls. If you have a group of friends, you can easily have a group video call. And you can also send messages to the entire group.
Status Updates
Among the latest features of WhatsApp is the Status Update. This is a story-like feature that lets you post pictures or videos for up to 24 hours. The story will then automatically be archived.
In addition, it is possible to hide your online status from certain contacts. This feature will be available for iOS users in the near future. For Android users, it is available now. It’s also possible to mute status updates.
The Status update feature is currently only available to a small number of beta testers. It is expected to be widely available in the near future.
The Status update feature is currently available on the beta version of the app for Android. To open the Status update section, tap on the Status tab in your WhatsApp app. You can also access the Status update section by clicking on your profile picture in the chat window.
Call Links
Earlier this week, WhatsApp announced that it would be launching Call Links. This feature will enable users to invite other users to join an existing call.
The Call Links feature works similar to the Zoom feature. Previously, users used to need to call someone by phone before joining a call. Now, people can join a call by sharing a unique link with their friends.
The Call Links feature works with audio calls as well as video calls. It is end-to-end encrypted, just like all WhatsApp calls.
Users will be able to generate a call link using the Calls tab. After generating the link, the link can be shared on WhatsApp or other apps. This feature is available only on Android and iOS for the time being. However, the feature is scheduled to roll out to everyone by this week.
