New tricks in WhatsApp that you surely did not know existed
Year after year, the messaging application is responsible for changing its features, always having new tricks on WhatsApp. For this reason, in recent weeks, some changes have been made.
The company has been in charge of always maintaining new options for its users, despite the fact that some feel a little dissatisfied.
The new tricks in WhatsApp to improve its use
Files with capacity up to 2 GB
In its update, WhatsApp has changed the number of GB of files that can be sent.
The previous limit was 100 MB and now, the technology company changed it to 2 GB.
For this change, Meta conducted a test in Argentina. Users were allowed to submit documents in this capacity.
Due to the good performance of this option, the company reported that this will be a help for collaboration between school groups and large companies.
Reaction on messages
Since May 5, the option to react to messages is available to all WhatsApp users.
The reactions available in this option are: thumbs up, heart, crying face, surprised face and sad face.
Finally, the hands are joined as a sign of thanks. This was a special choice as it is a way to spread appreciation and thanks according to Zuckerberg.
In addition, the company indicated that more icons will be added soon.
Audio playback outside the app
Previously, many users complained about not being able to hear voice memos when exiting the app. The company was responsible for making this change and in this new update it can be done.
You just have to play the audio and exit the application. Without problem you can continue listening to the voice note.
Delete messages in groups
For a few months, the company has been working on the option that group administrators have the preference to delete a message for all members.
In addition to adding or removing contacts, managing chats, administrators will now be able to delete messages.
This action will be reported to the chat participants, in the place where the originally sent message was located.
Video call with more participants
The novelties of the application indicate that a new option is that of 32 participants in group calls.
It includes an interface that includes an audio room design and a prominent view of the person who is speaking at the moment.
End-to-end encryption
The instant messaging application will remind users that conversations will be protected from end to end.
This encryption is a security option in which only the sender and receiver will have access to the information sent.
The app added this protection on your text chats initially. Then he added it to voice calls and video calls. In this way, the instant messaging application has changed certain WhatsApp options.
The company continues betting on improving the app, so that users feel more comfortable.
