VideoCalls
Until today, video calls can only be made between two people. But now they can be done in a group way among several contacts and see all the members at the same time. The screen will be divided according to the people who are part of the video call.
Personalization
In social networks, not only content is important, but also appearance. That is why one of the new features that could debut this year would be to change the appearance of the different chats, modifying the classic green color for which each user wants.
Best photos
Another novelty of the application will be focused on saving memory or space on the computer. This will be possible thanks to the intelligent optimization of the images. It will detect what type of image is treated and compress it depending on the quality that it needs.
Manage group
Managers in WhatsApp groups will have more control over who speaks and who does not. They can silence a specific person for a certain amount of time. Today, administrators could only add or remove people, change the name or image of the group.
For business
WhatsApp Business is a version created exclusively for business. It will be independent and directed to small and medium businesses and entrepreneurs, as well as to large corporations.
It has already been experienced by some users.
Report fails
Faced with an error in the application, users can report it in the settings menu. But now it will be easier, because when the user recognizes an error or strange behavior in the app, you can shake the phone with the open application what will be understood as a report.
Change number
The app will now have a wizard that will send a message to all contacts in the calendar in case a user has changed their number. The goal is for everyone to be notified and update the contact with the new number.
Youtube videos
Looking to make it easier to use YouTube in the application, now when someone sends a link or link to a video, it can be played without leaving the application. In fact, it will not even be necessary to leave the conversation.
