WhatsApp is updated with a unique and useless novelty

Whatsapp logo

You open the App Store routinely, to see what kind of updates are waiting for you if you do not have automatic updates activated, you see a very familiar green icon and an «Update» on its right side, you blink to verify that it is true and it is, WhatsApp Inc has decided to offer us an update for the most famous instant messaging application in the world. Now is when we have to click on «News» to wait for a long list of corrections and new functions that are missing from WhatsApp and we find a text that wants to sell us a new function called «Featured messages», for a moment we breathe relieved because it is not the typical bug-fixes, but we realize that the 49,7 MB update that WhatsApp offers us is apparently useless.

This new WhatsApp update will allow us to store a series of highlighted messages to be able to find them easily, This is how they tell us from WhatsApp:

whatsapp-update

Starred messages: Long press on a message to mark it as a starred message so you can easily find it later. Starred messages appear in contact or group information in each chat and also in their own section in search results.

Thus, it seems that including news for iOS 9 such as the quick response or support for the 3D Touch of the new iPhone is not as interesting or as urgent as the featured messages. Now we can save (as long as we do not delete the conversation ...) those messages that interest us for any reason, as well as the links, which will prevent us from using the notepad in some matters, and a little more. WhatsApp once again decides to show off with an update "full of news" leaving us with honey on our lips in the face of real and necessary improvements.

    Now if someone writes more than one message in a group or in a private chat, they are grouped together and their name does not appear at all

      Hi Ies. WhatsApp is not owned by Apple.

        I think he says it for this paragraph of the news "Apple once again decides to show off with an update" full of news "leaving us with honey on our lips in front of real and necessary improvements"

        We know it but it seems that the one who does not find out is you. Read your own post to see if you see it.

    events can be created ... write something like "I'll see you where ever tomorrow" and you can create an event. something that was said to be added.

    This update will bring us more news in a matter of days by remote as they already did with the calls.

    Great article I do not understand how people like sheep continue to use WhatsApp when there are applications like telegram that give it a thousand turns and surprise you with each update

  9.   Yandel said

    Damn time I updated it, now the app is closing

  10.   Ernesto said

    Another "novelty" is that it is apparently updated for iOS 9 since that preview is not seen in black when the app is opened, in addition to a new interface when you slide to the right to read / unread, another novelty that you can create events from a same chat and one last novelty is that now you can customize a different tone for each contact (I don't know if it was already available before)

    As I return to the previous version, I am installing it but when I try to recover the history it gives an error and does not let me pass, I need to continue using my Tweak Online Notify and with the new version it does not work for me, I need urgently, what do you recommend, I wait for you Do they update it or do I try to install the previous version of WhatsApp?

    1.    johnattan02 said

      It installs but does not let you recover the history of covnersations, only if it is to use it as new and I do not want to lose anything, I will have to hold on to use it and wait for OnlineNotify

  12.   johnattan02 said

    It allows you to see who is connecting, who writes to you, who is disconnected and many more functions without having to be in WhatsApp or looking for a specific contact, that is the important thing about OnlineNotify and I am anxious to make it compact but first I will try do what Bobby Dilon says to see if it works.

    It happens to you that when you respring it closes all the time? If I don't reinstall it, it doesn't work ...

  14.   Eduardo said

    The same thing happened to me with onlinenotify, uninstalled the new version and installed the previous 2.12.6 and great. Although I lost all my conversations it does not matter, I have it activated = D
