With more than 2 billion active users, WhatsApp is the most widely used instant messaging application in the world . Around 100,000 million WhatsApp messages are sent every day, nothing more and nothing less. One of the main reasons for its success is that it is continually innovating and releasing new features to meet user needs. If all goes well, before the end of 2021 the company will launch several novelties that will make our lives a little easier.
Report messages
Privacy is one of the things that WhatsApp users are most concerned about. Right now, if we don’t want to receive more messages from a contact, we only have the option to block it. This could change very soon because WhatsApp will allow us to report messages . A new control that seeks to report practices that may constitute a crime to those responsible for the app.
Voice memo transcription
Voice memos are the easiest and fastest way to send a message , especially a long one. However, it is not always when we receive an audio that we can hear it. For example, if we go on the bus or the subway and we have forgotten our headphones at home.
Well, WhatsApp is working on a new feature: a system to transcribe voice notes to text, so that we can read them without having to listen to them . For now it is unknown when it will be launched in the beta version of the application, but everything indicates that it will be in the near future.
React to chats
And, finally, one of the most desired and expected WhatsApp news by users. The company is working on a new function so that we can react to messages through emoticons , in the same way as on Instagram or Slack.
WABetaInfo has had access to the first version of this new feature, so we have more details about it. Below each message a bubble will appear with the emojis that we have previously chosen . Sending the reaction will be as simple as holding down the message for a few seconds and then choosing an emoji.
As you can see, there are several new functions that WhatsApp is working on at the moment . We are looking forward to the application because it will make it much easier for us to communicate with our friends and family.
