WhatsApp Removes Their Newly Launched Feature

WhatsApp will release a feature that allows you to send photos and videos that can only be viewed once. You can also verify if the recipient has opened the media, according to WABetainfo. 

This new feature will be available in a future update on WhatsApp for Android, iOS and Web/Desktop.

The media will disappear from the chat once you have viewed it. This will allow users to save up on space. The feature is expected to be released soon.

The text and video messaging platform recently announced to roll out another feature that will enable users to use the application on multiple devices without having an internet connection.

This feature will be available in a future update on WhatsApp for Android, iOS, web and desktop devices.

According to WABetaInfo, the multi-device feature is currently under development but it is expected to launch within the next two months for both Android and iOS users.

Once launched, users would be able to link up to four devices to their WhatsApp accounts, confirmed Will Cathcart.

The new update will also allow users to migrate their chat history between iOS and Android devices.

Moreover, WhatsApp is working on few more interesting features for both Android and iOS.

Disappearing Mode

WhatsApp already has a Disappearing Messages function, which it is now trying to expand. In an interview with WaBetaInfo, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, announced that WhatsApp will offer a disappearing mode, which will allow you to enable disappearing messages across all chat threads.

View Once Feature

Zuckerberg also revealed that WhatsApp intends to offer a ‘view once’ function that would allow users to exchange media such as images and movies that can only be viewed once.

Multiple Device Support

The company has been testing multi-device compatibility for months and has now confirmed that it will be available soon. According to WaBetaInfo, the support will go into public beta “within the next month or two.”

Missed Group Calls

WhatsApp is also said to be working on a feature that will allow you to join missed group calls. In simpler terms, if you are invited to join a group call but are unable to do so at the time, you will be given the option to join later if the call has not yet finished.

WhatsApp Read Later

Finally, according to WaBetaInfo, the Facebook-owned company is working on a ‘Read Later’ feature. The feature will take the place of the existing Archived Chats feature and will not restore the archived chats to the top of the messaging app.

WhatsApp’s Upcoming Feature Will Help Users Send photos, videos more privately

by
WhatsApp new feature

The globally popular messaging application WhatsApp often treats its users with a number of useful and amazing features.

This time, the latest update by WhatsApp will allow its users to send photos and videos more privately.

WABetaInfo said, “The feature was still under development, but there were some new details that came to light. “WhatsApp is working on an alert to introduce the feature when it will be enabled.”

“WhatsApp explains that this feature will help sending photos and videos more privately, because recipients can only open your photo or video once, before it disappears,” it said.

“WhatsApp intends to specify that recipients can still take screenshots to save the self-destructing media: so we can understand that they do not want to implement a screenshot/video capture detection feature in WhatsApp for this type of media,” WABetaInfo added.

The new feature is under development for iOS and Android and it will be available in a future update.

Earlier, a new feature introduced by WhatsApp let Android users mute the audio on video files before they share it on their status as well. The feature is available only for Android devices for now, and availability on iOS is not yet confirmed.

Here’s how you can use the feature in a few easy steps.

How To Mute Videos On WhatsApp Before Sharing

Step 1: To send someone a muted video, first make sure you have updated to the latest version of WhatsApp. Proceed by opening a contact’s chat window.

Step 2: Once you’re in the chat window, click on the paperclip icon and choose Gallery to attach a video file.

Step 3: Click on a video file from the previews to choose the video file that you want to send. In the subsequent screen look for a new speaker icon on the top left, just below the frames of the video.

Step 4: Click on this speaker icon to mute the audio of that video file, before you tap the send button. This will send your contact a video-only version of the file. You can also click on the button again to unmute the same video.

WhatsApp To limit features for its users From May 15 Onwards

by
If sharing sensitive information on WhatsApp makes you feel uncomfortable, try using the disappearing messages feature. But be cautious, there is a problem there as well.

Popular messaging application WhatsApp has intended to execute its new privacy policies, which ultimately triggered the users of the app.

The new WhatsApp policies also resulted in a digital mass-exodus, forcing WhatsApp users to shift to more secure apps such as Signal or Telegram.

Many users freaked out about their chats and data being shared with tech giant Facebook.

However, after the provoked hassle by users, the application pushed the dates for accepting the privacy policy to May 15.

It also reiterated what data it will be taking from its users, assuring them that their private chats with friends and family will remain protected by end-to-end encryption.

“The information we share with the other Facebook Companies includes your account registration information (such as your phone number), transaction data (for example, if you use Facebook Pay or Shops in WhatsApp), service-related information, information on how you interact with businesses when using our Services, mobile device information, your IP address, and may include other information identified in the Privacy Policy section entitled ‘Information We Collect’ or obtained upon notice to you or based on your consent,” WhatsApp said in a statement.

WhatsApp in its FAQs about the new privacy policy has stated that users have until May 15 to admit the new terms and conditions. If they fail to do so, the app will start to restrict its features for the users.

by
WhatsApp new update

Popular messaging application WhatsApp has rolled out another new update for its Android version the 2.21.2.14 update.

According to WABetainfo, “Web releases include all bug fixes implemented in the previous beta versions submitted to Play Store. It’s like a release candidate, a final beta.”

“If you are a beta tester, you shouldn’t update to 2.21.2.14, because it’s a build reserved to everyone,” it said.

“If you aren’t a beta tester and you would like to know if there is something new in the 2.21.2.14 update, you should visit the Android page,” it said.

Moreover, you can download the latest web release for Android from official WhatsApp website.

On the other hand, WhatsApp recapitulated the argument of whether users’ conversations on the app will remain protected. The platform suggested that there is no way for the end-to-end encryption of conversations to change.

WhatsApp made an official announcement on its Twitter account, “Whatever you share on WhatsApp, stays between you. That’s because your personal messages are protected by end-to-end encryption and that will never change.”

Previously, WhatsApp had made the announcement of delaying its latest business plans until May 2020. It reached out to its users, explaining to them the policy by displaying a series of ‘statuses’ on the messaging platform.

Sumikkogurashi: WhatsApp soon to roll out brand new sticker pack

by
Sumikkogurashi new sticker pack

Facebook-owned messaging application WhatsApp is here again with the latest update for its users with a brand new sticker pack.

WhatsApp has submitted a brand new replace via the Google Play Beta Programme — bringing the model as much as 2.21.2.10.

According to WABetaInfo, via the brand new replace, customers will probably be getting a brand new sticker pack, it mentioned, noting that the title of the pack is “Sumikkogurashi”.

WABetaInfo mentioned that the brand new sticker pack would roll out right now.

Sumikkogurashi

Earlier, Signal messaging platform received millions of new users after the recommendation from top businessman Elon Musk. Consequently, the app faced an outage due to a rush of new users.

Signal also gained attention from a lot of users after WhatsApp unveiled its new privacy policy. Some users reported messages failing to send on both mobile and desktop for hours on Friday.

However, the platform says it has resolved the technical issues. Signal said in a series of tweets that users might see errors in some of their chats, including missed messages, but this would not affect their security.

“Signal is back!” it said.

WhatsApp’s new privacy policy flamed controversies and several users switched to alternatives Signal and Telegram. The new policy update led several users to believe that they must allow it to share data with Facebook.

However, WhatsApp says the practice is not new and there are no changes to it.

WhatsApp said there had been “confusion” about its message, which initially gave people until 8 February to accept its updated terms or stop using the service.

WhatsApp has now changed the date to 15th May as it said it would use the time to clear up misinformation.

Do not worry if your WhatsApp stops working from January 1

by
WhatsApp Profile Picture

As reports suggested that popular messaging application WhatsApp might stop working from January 1, 2021, the company has announced it is withdrawing support for some old devices which are currently compatible with the application.

While some users with old devices will be able to keep on using WhatsApp by updating its software, others won’t be so lucky.

Dropping support for old phones is not something new for WhatsApp. This time, the messaging platform is dropping support for any iPhone running on software older than iOS9.

This means that the iPhone 4 and other models won’t be able to access WhatsApp from January 1, 2021. iPhone 4S, 5, 5S, 5C, 6 and 6S can all be updated to iOS9, hence they will be able to support WhatsApp once updated.

There’s bad news for Android users as well. WhatsApp will no longer work on devices running Android 4.0.3 or older versions of the operating system.

What can users do?

First and foremost, you should find out which operating system your phone is using.

In order to find out what operating system your phone is running on, iPhone users can go to Settings > General > Information, where you will find information about the software version on your iPhone.

On the other hand, Android users can go to Settings > About Phone to see which Android version their smartphone is running on.

One of the main problems that users will face when their WhatsApp no longer remains accessible is no access to their chats.

Hence, it is important for people with any such phones mentioned above to back up their chats before January 1, 2021 if they want to retain them.

They can do so by going to ‘Chat backup’ option under Chats section in Settings.
