WhatsApp to launch THESE features in 2022
However, WhatsApp has been unable to specify a specific date for the launch of each new feature. Once implemented, the features will complement the company's new voice messaging tools, which were announced a few weeks ago.
New Delhi: WhatsApp, which is now owned by Meta, has revealed a slew of new features that will go live in 2022. The new features are intended to improve the user experience of Meta's widely used app.
However, WhatsApp has been unable to specify a specific date for the launch of each new feature. Once implemented, the features will complement the company's new voice messaging tools, which were announced a few weeks ago.
"Organizations like schools, local groups, and non-profit organisations increasingly rely on WhatsApp to communicate securely and get things done - especially since the pandemic pushed us all to discover new methods to work together while apart," according to WhatsApp.
Check the full list of features here:
Fast playback on voice messages
Listen to voice message before sending
Waveform design voice messages
Play voice message outside WhatsApp chats
Resume voice message
WhatsApp audio recording
WhatsApp users may now pause and resume recording audio messages. When starting to record a voice message in handsfree mode, users will notice a new pause option. Previously, customers had to re-record a voice message in the event of a disruption. This feature will also come in handy while recording extended audio messages.
WhatsApp voice calls
With a new design, WhatsApp will enable one-tap voice calling for up to 32 individuals. The app window that appears during group voice calls is being redesigned by the firm. During a group call, the platform is adding voice waveforms for all participants. The voice waves resemble those observed in voice notes. The design modifications are minor, but they give the page a more modern appearance.
WhatsApp file sharing capacity
WhatsApp group admins
WhatsApp Communities
The WhatsApp Communities feature will allow people to bring together diverse groups under one umbrella with a structure that works for them. Users can easily organise smaller discussion groups on topics that are important to them and receive updates sent to the broader Community. Communities will also include new admin tools, such as announcement messages delivered to everyone and control over which groups can be included.
WhatsApp Emoji Reactions
WhatsApp is introducing message reactions similar to those found on other Meta-owned services such as Instagram and Facebook Messenger.
Users can ‘react' to messages with emoticons thanks to this feature. Users will only need to press and hold a message they wish to respond to, then drag their finger to the proper emoji. The reaction will be accessible to all members of the group and will display below the text.
