New WhatsApp update that allows you to preview images in notifications

WhatsApp balloon in the app

The WhatsApp messaging application continues with its slow, maddening and raunchy adding new features to your iOS app. At least we have to admit that this latest update adds a functionality that we have been waiting for a long time: the ability to see the images or gifs that are sent to us without having to open the application.

The new update that is already available in the App Store and that responds to build 2.18.90 adds, among other new features, this feature. Even if you don't claim victory because we already know how WhatsApp works, and not all of us can enjoy it yet.

Surely you have wondered why with other applications when they send you an image you can see it in the notification center of your device, even from your Apple Watch, and yet with WhatsApp you had to settle for an emoji from a camera or a Martian if it was a gif. The answer is simple: because WhatsApp had not yet added it to its application. In this latest update it seems (and I say it seems because this is what the app indicates but it still doesn't work for me) that this limitation disappears and you will be able to see the file in the notification, you can even 3D Touch to see it in full size.

In addition to this change, a new notice is also included when links to suspicious websites are sent to us. Upon receiving the link to that website, WhatsApp will check it and if it seems to be a suspicious website, it will notify you, leaving your choice if you want to access it or not. A way to avoid those malicious links that lately proliferate by messaging applications and social networks. As with the previous function, we will have to wait for WhatsApp to open its hand and extend this novelty to its users little by little. But update the app to be prepared.
