When we talk about WhatsApp can say that we like more or less, but one thing we cannot deny: is the planet most used messaging application. One can try to reveal and not use the application, but it is normal that the property of Facebook messaging application is installed on any smartphone. Which is more controversial (which neither) is whether it is the best messaging application. And it is that for example Telegram offers many useful features not offered by WhatsApp. But that could change in a next update.
The next version to be released will be WhatsApp 2.16.7 and will include some interesting news. No, there will be no bots as in Telegram video calls nor will be activated for all even, but that we will begin to enjoy motion pictures, although with nuances (which does not surprise us trying to whatsapp). You have everything that is coming here.
News that will arrive in WhatsApp 2.16.7
- All translations will be updated. In my opinion, this will be so because they will include features that require new lines of text.
- New user interface (UI for WhatsApp/configuration/information and support).
- Improvements to the “bubbles” (bubbles) of WhatsApp.
- Improvements to the burden of contacts when you create a new group or a list of broadcasting.
- Improvements to the audio sliders.
- Improvements to voice messages.
- Improvements to the documents.
- Improvements to the so-called videos (in tests).
- Support for GIFs. The bad thing at this point is that they may not be sent from reel, but yes may be:
- Send links of a GIF and WhatsApp will save it as an image.
- AutoPlay of GIFs, if we so wish.
- Possibility to save GIFs as a still image.
- The GIFs will be encrypted.
- Support for Peek & Pop.
- In future you may send and display GIFs from the application.
- Support for temporary participants in groups, allowing us to add a new participant for a period of time. What is unclear is what will happen or how it will implement chat that temporary user.
- New feature to display a timer during the restoration of the chat history.
- Improvements in encryption.
- There will be new animations.
- Improvements in the protection of user data.
- Interface enhancements, including some in the UI of voice calls.
- Improvements in the log function. This function is in evidence and hides from the voice calls are available.
- Option to select several chats to mark them as read or delete them all at the same time…
- Ability to see which members are active in a group of WhatsApp.
- Improved chat section.
- Actions Peek & Pop for some messages (perhaps).
- Ability to respond directly to a GIF.
- Enhancements to favorite messages.
- Ability to Save stickers.
- Public groups to which you can enter from a link.
- Improvements for the quick response.
- Improvements to scan QR codes from other users.
- Improvements to scrolling (scroll).
- Possibility to continue listening to an audio but let’s whatsapp.
- Possibility to invite others to try WhatsApp from a new menu.
- It is said that WhatsApp would be working on a new “method of communication” unspecified, so it’ll be. If it takes the same as to include other functions, will take even learn of dealing with this point.
- Improvements in stability and bug fixes.
And support for Apple Watch? Because it does not appear at any point. Since day 1, Apple no longer supports non-native applications for watchOS, so we could think that the support is near. The bad thing is that WhatsApp still not has deigned to release anything to the Apple Watch, so it is likely to keep it as up to now, no application for the Apple clock. In addition, if we take into account it seems that right now they are focusing on video calling… only I will say that an Apple Watch owners will still have to have some more patience.
