WhatsApp: the WhatsApp trick to know which contacts are online and when they connect
WhatsApp. 7 WhatsApp tricks to protect your mobile from gossip and peepers
At this point, no one doubts how
WhatsApp has changed the way we communicate
.
Among the positive things that this messaging network brought was being able to communicate immediately between people who are far away such as family and friends, although like everything it has its chiaroscuro.
The immediacy extended to work and personal relationships, generating a dependency to answer and be answered at the moment, with functions such as the double check that increased the pressure even more.
Almost twelve years after its creation, the application is not what it was, it has grown along with its number of users, adding new functions with each update.
Looking ahead to next 2021, WhatsApp has prepared a series of new functions aimed at
improving the user experience
and from PIXEL we have gathered the most striking.
Photos that self-destruct on WhatsApp
Just as there is already the function of sending messages that disappear after seven days, the messaging application plans to extend this function to shared photos and videos.
In this way, the images, videos or GIF that the user has decided to share temporarily, will
disappear from the recipient's terminal
and from the chat as soon as the term expires.
Several filtered screenshots of this next function show how when sharing the photo or video, next to the add more icon (located in the lower left), another will appear in the shape of a counter.
All you have to do is press it to send the file temporarily
, that is, once the deadline has been reached, the image or video will self-destruct.
As with temporary messages, these shared files will be displayed differently from the usual ones, thus marking in the chat that they are temporary.
What is still unknown is the message that will appear in the chat when the file expires.
Internal ads on WhatsApp
Recently,
WhatsApp has announced that it will
update its terms of service for adding new features
.
It should be noted that the user will have to accept these new rules to continue using the application.
One of these novelties is the notices within the application itself.
Through a 'banner' that will appear at the top of the list of chats in WhatsApp, the app itself will notify users of the news that it will be implementing, as well as other changes that the service experiences.
Read later or vacation mode for WhatsApp
Currently,
if we archive a chat, it will be unarchived
as soon as it receives a new message, reappearing in notifications and in the general list of conversations.
For next year, the application is going to implement that these archived conversations are not unarchived even if they receive new messages, thus keeping them silenced and removed from the general list of chats.
In this way, the user can enjoy their rest periods without receiving notifications from work chats.
WhatsApp on several simultaneous devices
One of
WhatsApp's
pending issues
was the option to log in to multiple devices at the same time
.
For now, you can only have the session started on one device and use its desktop version or WhatsApp Web, but for next year, everything indicates that you can keep the session started on up to four devices at the same time.
Payments and transfers
Available now in some places like Brazil, WhatsApp Pay allows you to make payments and transfers between contacts through the application.
This function, similar to the Bizum system, is considered a tough competitor to it, taking into account the large number of users that WhatsApp has.
Its operation is as simple as linking the payment method and verifying the mobile, in addition, the receipt of the operation will appear in the chat of the user with whom it was made.
Videos without sound on WhatsApp
Apparently this is another of the functions that WhatsApp users will be able to enjoy for next year.
In the current version of the service, when sharing a video, if we reduce its duration enough (by dragging the bars at the ends), a button will appear to convert it into a GIF (which has no sound).
The difference with this new feature is that the shared file will be a video with the desired length, but
without sound
, which will reduce data waste and the weight of the video.
It is expected that, as in other applications such
as Instagram
, a button in the shape of a megaphone or speaker will appear at the top that allows you to activate or deactivate the sound in the video before sharing it.
