WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in Europe, although alternatives such as Telegram also integrate a large number of functions and do a very good job. The Meta chat app doesn’t pause, and since it’s no secret, There are already some ideas of what I could prepare for the future.
Some of these features would make a lot of sense, and they are ideas the company could use. These are related to privacy and how you view content like ephemeral photographs and audios in the app.
Recently, some functions have been included, such as the ability to start a conversation without giving the phone number or the ability to pin messages to the top and send audio messages that can only be heard once, to that the application does not lack news.
Blocked, everywhere
Even if you have someone blocked on WhatsApp, if you share a group with that person, you can currently receive their messages through that group, which makes blocking ineffective, since that person can continue to communicate with whoever blocked you. However, the function they imagine from WaBetaInfo because WhatsApp wants to put an end to this dynamic, by making messages from blocked people do not appear not even in the groups they have in common.
This way, even if that person says something, it will not be possible to read it. The person receiving the messages will be informed that they cannot be viewed because they were written by a blocked person. Thus, it is possible to know that there is a message from this person, but without having to read it. A current method to bypass this blocking is to add that person to a group, so it would be very positive if messages from groups were also blocked.
Content that is visible only once may also be the subject of discussion, as it is often necessary to resend the image or audio so that the recipient can interpret it correctly. Therefore, another idea proposed is to activate this content so that it can be viewed not once, but twice. Beyond that, we still expect WhatsApp to decide to include filters to separate conversations and easily search them between those that have unread messages, those that are with contacts or groups. To save space, it would also be possible place archived conversations in a separate filter
