Last week we told you that WhatsApp will come to iPad with voice calls. With this measure and its extension to a greater number of devices, although its arrival has yet to be clarified, the most used messaging platform in the world aims to overcome one of its still pending challenges: Its final arrival on tablets. However, this wouldn't be the only thing the app developers would be working on.
Currently, we can find other similar tools that are on your heels and that aspire to take away your leadership. This forces its creators to make quick decisions and act to continue maintaining that position. Today we are going to review the latest news that it incorporates and we will try to see if it will have a positive impact or, however, they were characteristics demanded by users who are late.
The most recent
A few hours ago, the improvement of one of the newest, but also controversial, features of WhatsApp was definitively confirmed: The deleting messages after sending them. Until now, the maximum time to delete content was 5 minutes, now, this limit is extended to a somewhat curious period: 1 hour, 8 minutes and 16 seconds.
WhatsApp could have stikers very soon
Perhaps, this is one of the most striking novelties of this platform. Following in the footsteps of its owner, Facebook, the messaging application could very soon incorporate these somewhat more casual-looking icons and illustrations to complete the catalog of emojis which is already very broad. Currently, they would already be present in a beta version that is expected to come out soon for users.
Improvements in the sound message system
Another of the changes that could land very soon would be related to the popular audios. These already coexist with written texts and in many cases, they have even ended up displacing them. In the near future, they could be heard before being sent to the recipients, and in addition, they would be recorded without the need to be pressing on the screen during the entire duration of the sound file.
What do you think about all these news? Do you think that it is already possible to find similar features in other already established platforms and that therefore, WhatsApp is late? We leave you available related information such as, for example, a list with secure messaging apps that intend to displace it so you can learn more about more similar tools that have other strengths.
