WhatsApp is becoming a great app and with all the new features it has added since last year, it’s not easy to know all its tricks. In this month of March, like the following ones, The Meta application will receive several new features with which your user experience will be improved and you will not need to use other applications for certain actions.
One of its new features This has to do with the Digital Markets Act be nominated by the European Union like a “guardian” or access the doorman. This tag implies that Meta needs to make some important changes and one of them is to allow the entry of chats from third-party applications.
That is, if you have a Telegram account and it is installed on your PC, if you receive a message in this application, It should also be received on WhatsApp. The objective is to centralize messages so that they can be received or sent from the most popular applications, in this case WhatsApp.
Below you will find all the news that will be received in a few days or weeks to continue showing the difficulties work done by WhatsApp to make it a great application. In fact, Microsoft and the owner of X (formerly Twitter) have been working for over a year to create their own super apps from which everything can be done; WeChat in China is the ultimate example.
Receive messages from other apps like Telegram
So in a few weeks, since another news about this was leaked again a few days ago, you will be able to receive chats on WhatsApp from the configured third-party applications. East one of the most important changes that the application will receivealthough not all users will use it.
In the latest leak you can see a screenshot in which you can see the section of third-party applications to configureand this will allow you to choose which apps you want to receive messages from.
New text formats for chats
Another of the most important new features is the possibility of formatting the text and thus transmitting numerical lists or points, or even mentioning a conversation of the person. Here the idea is offer a wide range of styles so that “richer” text messages can be sent.
The typical shopping list is best read if a list of points or a numerical list is used instead of putting one product after another. In other words, WhatsApp now offers the possibility of giving style to sent discussions.
Search messages by date
Chat with friends or family They usually consist of thousands and thousands of messages, and having to search for anything there can be very difficult; especially if you have to scroll over and over, or just use the search engine to find a keyword.
WhatsApp is already changing completely in this direction including a calendar in order to specify a date and have the chat app display messages from those days, or simply take the user there.
Blocking screenshots on profile
A measure aimed at protecting user privacy was disclosed a few weeks ago through one of the beta versions of the application. This is neither the first nor the last action that WhatsApp will take to retain sensitive user informationand even more for an application installed by millions of people throughout Europe.
And the fact is that even contacts will not be able to take a screenshot of a user’s profile. It is This photo is fully protected under a right related to the person. Your photo is personal and no one should be able to take a screenshot. Indeed, anyone who tries will receive a message warning of the restriction.
View contact statuses without being “seen”
In what This is a total reorganization of the news tabwhich is currently at the top of the application, there is a novelty related to the states, and these, being larger, introduce a preview of them.
That is to say, the contact status takes a rectangular and larger format so that it is perfectly visible. In fact, now the States will appear at the top to leave the channels at the bottom.
Custom themes
Another of its new upcoming features is custom themes. What it really does is offer colors, so choose one as the key color of the application. Instead of green, which is currently established for WhatsApp on Android, you can choose blue so that chat notifications are that color.
This key color will be applied throughout the application similar to what Telegram does and so you can customize the color of the application a little to get away from the omnipresent green since it began to be a known application in Europe.
Block contacts from notification
Another new feature that will surely be applauded by many: the block button right next to the one dedicated to responding to the notification. The blocking will be immediate and you will not even need to enter the message to block this contact.
WhatsApp knows this well more and more spam is received in your application, so we can almost say that this measurement is one of the most useful that will be received in the coming weeks.
Create your username
Telegram has this function, like other platforms like Discord, which allows create username linked to phone number. Its usefulness lies in the fact that you can give this created username so that anyone can add a user to their phone book, and thus avoid giving out the phone number.
Of course, this novelty must arrive with another option that has been waiting since last summer: Hide cell phone number. In addition, it will be very easy to contact the user as is done with Instagram.
Sign documents from WhatsApp
Not everybody he will sign documents from time to time, but it’s a feature that comes in handy when needed. In fact, other experiences such as the digital certificate or the new project of the National Police to carry the DNI on the cell phone go hand in hand.
Here, WhatsApp has partnered with DocuSign, the best-known platform for signing documents online, so that so everyone can do it from WhatsApp. The experience will include the notification arriving when the user receiving the documentation has signed it.
