WhatsApp plans to introduce many new features very soon

Whatsapp logo

WhatsApp is the most used messaging application in the world, but users complain about the few news that they include in each update, especially if we compare them with the news of Telegram or Line. But there is good news in this regard and that is soon many news will come to WhatsApp, among which the interactive notifications and, more specifically, the quick response stand out, something that other applications such as Tweetbot or Telegram already include.

News coming soon to WhatsApp

Revamped interface

WhatsApp has been working for several months to redesign the application and it seems that the UI is already ready to include it in a next update. The change will make the iOS app look a bit like the android app, especially in terms of colors.

Possibility of creating an event from WhatsApp

If someone sends a message with a text like «tomorrow at 12:30 there is dinner", we will can create an event. This is likely to be similar to how events can be created from the Mail app.

Possibility to mark messages as important

Sometimes they send us messages that we want to save and now we can do it to keep them under control in the future. In each chat there will be a section where all these messages will be saved.

Enhanced VoiceOver

This is likely to go hand in hand with the graphical changes.

Shared links

Just as there will be a section for important messages, there will also be a section where the shared links.

End-to-end encryption technology improvements

The option is already available for version 2.12.6, but we can activate it remotely.

Interactive notifications

Perhaps the most important and long-awaited improvement. Interactive notifications are those in which we can swipe notification down and the various options appear. By sliding it, we can reply to the message or mark it as read. When the message received is from a group, we can silence the chat for 8 hours from the notification.

The share extension will allow you to save voice notes

All this from WhatsApp and with a renewed UI.

In the same way that has already happened with the Android version.

Backup improvements

These improvements will be available from iOS 6 onwards.

WhatsApp (Copy)

"System Status" will report any problem again

Right now it sends us to the Twitter profile (@wa_status). The section will be improved and we will be notified from the application.

Open links within WhatsApp

As with many other applications, the links will open within the application. It is likely to be compatible with content blockers (such as Tweetbot).

Lots of bug fixes

Such as a failure that caused problems in the orientation of the screen, resetting the volume or unexpected shutdowns.

Hearsay

  1. WhatsApp will use Metal, which will make you be more fluid in animations and movements. Only available on iOS 9.
  2. May search for a contact on WhatsApp and open a conversation, something that is not very clear how it will work (Nick? unlikely)
  3. 3D Touch support, which includes the ability to quickly open one of the last conversations. We can also listen to a chat using "Peek" and enter it with "Pop". These touches can also be used with multimedia files. Only available on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
  4. Share live Photos.

WhatsApp on Apple Watch

Unfortunately, Apple Watch owners they will still have to wait. The first version they release is likely to only be available in English. It is planned, but there is no date.

Web WhatsApp

The web version of WhatsApp will also be updated and will receive functions from the mobile application. The broadcast list is one of them. For me, it is bad news that they continue with the web version as we know it, but this is just my opinion.

    It is clear that these news have to be included if they do not want to lose the app, the question is when and if they will do it in time because they are already passing the rice, and that in the Apple Watch they have not launched a quick response is very painful having already implemented it in Facebook msn ... And belonging to the same company (not the same developers)

    source? cybeles?

    Let's see if it's true why the Android whatssap is light years away from the IOS both in design and functionality

  5.   Me ;) said

    Sounds like the update will be out next year, let's hope they'll at least enable quick responses soon! As minimum

  6.   lawnchair said

    Source? They should have implemented all of this long ago. The update, which I doubt has all these news, far from it, at least in December, as always. I don't know why people don't go to telegram

    what you need to add is the characteristic floating button of material design, that would be very very useful

    They forgot that they are also going to change the name of the application: now it is going to be called Telegram.

      Very ingenious. Especially when the Russians are the ones who copied WhatsApp in everything. Despite this, Telegram does not use it or the cat.

      (Although)

    Only 16 months after the ios system allowed you to do such things. Without a doubt, these whatsapp geniuses are getting faster.

    It would be nice to be able to send messages scheduled for a specific time.

  11.   altergeek said

    The 3d touch will be good if the functions to be performed are without having to enter the application

    It is ironic that the whats app on android is far above the iOS app in terms of design and everything, considering that the whats app came out first on iOS is a shame, I've always been very dissatisfied, maybe they'll throw out that big update before iOS 10 comes out because the truth is that they are very careless ...
