What changes are coming to whatsapp

These are the few changes coming in new privacy policy on 8th January

• Holiday mode

The application is currently developing 'vacation mode' to allow users to archive conversations and groups for a time to mute and disable chat notifications.

This need arises from the fact that many users do not want to be part of a conversation, but are in turn unable to withdraw for some reason.

• Purchases directly from the app

As is already known, a WhatsApp account can be used as a business medium, which makes this option very useful , since, like applications related to it, not long ago they integrated purchases through said messaging app .

As can be done on Android and iOS devices, calls and video calls are the main innovations that WhatsApp will unveil during 2021 for web and desktop versions. The functionality is in beta, however it is one of the most anticipated.

• Choice of many devices

The use of the same account on four different devices is expected, although it is not yet known if these include tablets and other electronic devices. However, the application can be used without the main smartphone being connected to the internet, which allows using WhatsApp Web even if the phone remains off.

• Self-destruction of certain visual content

The company is working on a function that has the purpose of improving the level of privacy of its platform . It is a tool that deletes any attachment - image, video or animated Giff - sent to a contact after the recipient has opened it. A very useful option that will help you conserve space, although the user has the option to decide whether or not to add the validity of said files.
