As we all know, WhatsApp is the most used messaging application in the world. Since its appearance in 2009, it has managed to exceed 1.000 million users. Its size and its changes throughout history have meant that every time something new about it appears, no matter how small, the app appears in the media, specialized or not, all over the planet.
In recent weeks, its developers released a feature that replaced the text states common by other video that completely displaced the previous ones. This new function allowed to put small clips that were automatically deleted after 24 hours and gave the possibility to choose with which contacts it was shared. However, it was harshly criticized and this forced its creators to take a step back and restore the option to return to the original quotes. Now, more information has appeared about another possible change that for now has not received the approval of many either. We tell you more about it and how it can affect the app.
novelty
The new version of WhatsApp, which is now in a Beta version, would incorporate a function in which would notify to our contacts the fact of having changed devices. The designers of the app consider this to be an advance, since this simplifies the process of notifying the entire agenda about the new number and terminal.
Controversy
For many users who have already had access to future features of the messaging application, this measure represents a privacy violation, something that was already criticized in its day with the double blue reading confirmation tick or with the sample of the time of the last connections. As with the new statuses, the user will only have the option of choosing who they authorize to view this data or not.
Will it end up being implanted?
From WhatsApp at the moment they have not given more details about this possible feature and we will have to wait for the next version to arrive to see what the possible scope of this measure is. Do you think that as with videos, it will end up taking a step back and expanding the options available to the public in terms of privacy? While we wait, we leave you more related information about other features that have been rumored to be present in the future. so that you can give your own opinion.
