[br][p]Today, WhatsApp dominates as an unmatched player in the messaging arena; it serves over a billion users thanks to its simple UI and security features.[p]But, in order to maintain this user-base and stay ahead of the competition, the Facebook-owned company has also been pushing some useful new capabilities both through beta and stable releases.[p]Let's take a look at some of them.[h5]Feature #1[/h5][h2]Group privacy controls to prevent unwanted blocking[/h2][p]
[br][p]Group privacy control is probably one of the best features released by WhatsApp (stable) in the last few months.[p]The option, accessed from the privacy tab in account settings, lets you block unwanted people from adding you into groups.[p]You can pick anyone between 'everybody, my contacts, and nobody' to define who could add you into groups.[h5]Feature #2[/h5][h2]Biometric security to keep WhatsApp locked[/h2][p]
[br][p]WhatsApp has also added biometric authentication, a way to lockdown the messaging app and prevent third-party access.[p]The feature is already available for iPhone users who can use Face ID/Touch ID on their devices, while the Android version is in beta.[p]Notably, the capability will also let you choose when the app would lock: immediately after use or after 1, 10, 30 minutes.[h5]Feature #3[/h5][h2]Send 30 audio files at once[/h2][p]
[br][p]This particular feature rolled out with WhatsApp beta version 2.19.89, gives users a new interface for sending audio files.[p]Basically, unlike the current audio sharing interface, the new UI from WhatsApp lets you send as many as 30 audio files at once.[p]Plus, you can see the album art associated with every audio selected and a button to play/pause it before sending.[h5]Feature #4[/h5][h2]Dark mode for better experience, battery saving[/h2][p]
[br][p]WhatsApp has also released a dark mode for the messaging app, but you'll need its latest Android beta (v2.19.87 or newer) to try it.[p]The feature recolors the app and most of its pages, including those chats and settings, with a dark grey shade.[p]This way, you can save battery and using the app becomes much more convenient, especially at night.[h5]Feature #5[/h5][h2]In-app browsing capabilities[/h2][p]
[br][p]WhatsApp's Android beta version 2.19.74 also gives a glimpse of an in-app browser.[p]The feature, as the name suggests, lets users open links within WhatsApp itself, instead of redirecting the user to a third-party browser like Chrome or Opera.[p]The capability is similar to how links open within the Facebook app and certainly enhances your WhatsApp experience.[p] -----------------------------------[p]Stay tuned for more interesting informations.[br][br]Till then,[br][br]Keep Infinixing for latest and best quality informations.[br][br][strong](Source: [/strong]https://www.newsbytesapp.com/timeline/Science/45153/203466/new-features-you-can-try-on-whatsapp) |
