WABetaInfo has leaked some information regarding new functions that will be incorporated very soon in the instant messaging platform.
Below we mention the main WhatsApp updates:
Meta will incorporate emoticons to respond to received messages, without the need for a written response. To be able to use them, you must click on the message and then select the desired emoticon.
Another novelty will be the possibility of creating communities within groups (similar to Discord). Members will be able to create them with different topics.
It will be possible to choose the contacts that will be able to access to see the statuses that you publish.
Group chat administrators will have greater authority, having the ability to delete messages sent by group members.
You can share content and at the same time in the States.
A new interface will be incorporated, where the participants will be able to record and send voice notes during the call.
Meta will incorporate new options to search for contact information. It will also serve to locate any message sent or received.
To increase account protection it will be possible to receive a PIN code for a second two-step verification.
At the moment, the only one available that has this action is the heart, so more options with effects will be added.
