[br]With a strong user-base of more than a billion people, WhatsApp dominates as one of the most popular messaging platforms in the world.[br][br]The service comes with a range of features, but recent beta updates for its Android and iOS iterations have shown that there's more to come.[br][br]Yes, WhatsApp is on track to get some very interesting capabilities.[br][br]Let's take a look.[br][br]Night mode for an improved messaging experience[br][br]WhatsApp has been testing a night mode in beta version (v2.19.139), but it is not available for use at the moment.[br][br]The feature, when available in a stable version, will recolor the entire WhatsApp interface - from chats and calls screen to settings - with a dark grey-ish theme.[br][br]This way, using the messaging app at night will be much easier on your eyes.[br][br]New redesigned emojis[br][br]Along with the dark mode, redesigned emojis have also been spotted in the latest beta version (v2.19.310) of WhatsApp.[br][br]The service, as Mashable reports, is getting as many as 155 redesigned emojis, which are now smaller and more detailed than ever.[br][br]While there are no new emojis, the company is giving some a new look, like those for mermaid, fairy, and others.[br][br]No saving of profile photos[br][br]WhatsApp beta for Android (v2.19.143) has also got the ability to block people from saving profile pictures.[br][br]The service has long been providing a share button on profile photos which people can use to save or share an individual's photos.[br][br]However, with this capability, the option would no longer appear, thereby restricting user action on the image to some extent.[br][br]In-app browsing on WhatsApp[br][br]WhatsApp's Android beta version 2.19.74 has given a glimpse of an in-app browser.[br][br]The feature, when available in a stable release, will let you open links within WhatsApp itself, instead of redirecting to a third-party browser like Chrome or Opera.[br][br]The capability is similar to how links open within the Facebook apps and certainly enhances your WhatsApp experience.[br][br]Screenshot protection on WhatsApp[br][br]Finally, there's this feature aimed at keeping users from taking screenshots of chats.[br][br]Spotted last month in WhatsApp for Android beta 2.19.106, the feature will come as part of screen authentication designed to lock the messaging app.[br][br]This means that if you have locked your WhatsApp with your fingerprint, it will also block the ability to take screenshots, - as an additional security feature.[br][br][br][br]#Infinix_India..... |
