WhatsApp is working on a slew of new features for the future updates in 2023. The features will be released across all its app versions, including iOS, Android and Desktop.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently unveiled a slew of new updates and features for WhatsApp, including a new desktop app for Windows and new group features and controls for Android and iOS. But that's not all - WhatsApp is also gearing up to introduce various new features in 2023. While some of these features have already been introduced, others are currently under beta testing or in development.
According to WAbetainfo, a website that tracks all the latest developments around WhatsApp, the instant messaging platform is developing a host of new features to make messaging more fun, and interactive, and enhance its user interface. These features include an edit message option, video once audio, and more. While these features have not yet been officially announced by WhatsApp, the report suggests that they are currently under development and will be released for beta testing before being rolled out to everyone in future updates of the app.
Let's take a look at all the upcoming WhatsApp features that we might see soon on Meta-owned WhatsApp.
Edit message
WhatsApp will soon allow its users to edit their messages after sending them. Using the edit message feature, users will be able to quickly and easily correct mistakes in their messages without sending additional messages or deleting the wrong messages.
However, the platform will provide a 15-second window to edit sent messages. Additionally, edited messages will be marked with an "edited" label within the message bubble which will be visible to both the sender and receiver. The edit message feature is currently under development but is expected to release soon in the future updates of the app.
15 additional durations for disappearing messages
WhatsApp is also planning to update the disappearing messages section. With the new update the platform is said to add 15 new durations to set for the disappearing message option. Currently, WhatsApp allows its users to send disappearing messages that disappear from the chat of both sender and receiver automatically. Users can set the durations for disappearing messages from three options: 24 hours, 7 days, and 90 days. Read More…
