In this year 2021, WhatsApp has introduced many important news, we are reviewing them all.
The year 2021 is coming to an end and one of the most used apps in the world has introduced a lot of new features. This is WhatsApp, the most popular messaging app had a great year 2021 in terms of feature updates. Traditionally, WhatsApp has not been very willing to introduce new features in its app, but this year we have had some very interesting news.
See once
A very interesting function that allows us send images and videos through the app and these can only be viewed once. After viewing, the images disappear from the chat and can no longer be saved or shared. A feature designed to protect our privacy and what we share through the app.
Support for multiple devices
WhatsApp is changing how it works and has already added the support for multiple devices, which allows us to use the application on Windows or Mac computers without them having to be connected to the smartphone. Until now, if your smartphone was not connected, messages were no longer arriving.
This is a very important function that could bring us in 2022 an official application for the iPad or Apple Watch. Something that has already been confirmed by Mark Zuckerberg few months ago.
Encrypted backups
WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted, so in theory no one can intercept and read them. However, backups of all our chats and files were only encrypted a few weeks ago. Without a doubt, this is a setting that you need to activate on your iPhone if you want to protect your WhatsApp chats.
Move chats between iPhone and Android
A very necessary tool and in great demand by all users. If you have often switched between iPhone and Android, it was not possible to transfer your WhatsApp chats to your new smartphone, because one backup has been saved in iCloud and the other in Google Drive. Fortunately, WhatsApp already has a tool for you to transfer your chats between iOS and Android.

Payments via WhatsApp
Payments via WhatsApp can suppose a real revolution, and the app has already activated them in some countries thanks to the Novi virtual wallet. If everything works fine, it is expected that this feature will reach new countries within the next year. In the meantime, we can use some Bizum trick to send money on WhatsApp.
Calls from the computer
One of the first novelties of the year. WhatsApp Desktop has been updated to allow free voice and video calls to your contacts from your computer. A very interesting function since WhatsApp is one of the most used messaging applications in the world.
