It seems that WhatsApp wants to reach more users based on updates. For a while, we’ve seen the green instant messaging app lag behind in terms of features, while rivals have added new benefits. Now the sentiment is reversed. Right now we have a new update that tells us that WhatsApp wants to be like others and wants users to want no others. We talk about how the application introduced new functions, among them, communities, the increase in the number of video chat users, polls and increased the number of participants in groups.
For some time we have been seeing how WhatsApp is adding exciting new features to the app and users who use it regularly, of which there are many, depending on the updates. An app that seemed to be lacking in features, mainly due to its slow updates, but now we see how It took a run and everyone seems to want to use it.
We have, according to the new update, a series of improvements that are well worth a slight review. On one side we have the calls communities. When several groups have the same interests or have something in common, they can establish themselves jointly in these communities and thus be able to receive notifications in unison. Something that can be a little overwhelming at first, but very useful in the long run.
In the new functions we also have the possibility to perform surveys in groups and that users can choose between predefined answers. A benefit and something that many of us and regular Telegram and WhatsApp users have missed a lot.
Another novelty to highlight is the increase in the number of people who can be part of a group video chat. With the new version we can be present up to 32 people. Something that will go very well, since the capacity of group chats has been extended to a total of 1024. Remember that half, before, was the maximum
