WhatsApp, Meta's instant multimedia messaging app, is currently used by more than 2 billion people around the world. There are many features in WhatsApp that are very useful for users but there are still some shortcomings that the company is working to remove. In this report, we will tell you about five features coming to WhatsApp.
Chat Lock for web version
WhatsApp is now working on another new security feature. After the arrival of this new feature, WhatsApp users will be able to lock chats on the desktop version also. The chat lock feature is already available on the mobile app version.
WABetaInfo has said in one of its reports that WhatsApp is working on the chat lock feature for the desktop version. The new feature has been seen in the beta version. If you are also a beta user then you can see this feature.
Passkeys for security
Passkeys support is going to be available on WhatsApp soon. Although Meta introduced Passkeys for Android users only last year, now it is being released for iPhone users. For your information, let us tell you that passkey is a security feature that makes the login process more secure.
Usually, a 6-digit code is required to login to the account on an unknown device, but after its arrival, instead of the code, you will be able to login to WhatsApp without the 6-digit code with the help of phone Face ID, Touch ID, and device passcode.
Pinned Events in the Community
A big feature is coming to the Meta-owned instant multimedia messaging app WhatsApp. After the new update, the feature of Pinned Events will be available in the WhatsApp Community. After the introduction of this feature, you will be able to pin any upcoming event in the community group.
The new feature will also allow setting reminders for any special occasion or event. This new feature of WhatsApp has been seen in beta version 2.24.3.20 of Android. The new beta version can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. Wabetainfo has given information about the new feature.
You will be able to share files like ShareIt
WhatsApp is working on a new file-sharing system. After the introduction of this feature, WhatsApp users will be able to share large files and HD photos and videos with each other in the same way as they are shared through ShareIt and Android's Nearby.
Use Google Drive for backup
Meta-owned instant messaging app WhatsApp has finally ended free chat backup. Now WhatsApp users will have to pay for chat backup. WhatsApp has started it with beta users, although it has been discussed since last year.
Actually, WhatsApp has now started using users' Google Drive for backup. Earlier also only Google Drive was used but it was unlimited for chat backup now for chat backup only Google Drive storage will be used i.e. only in the 15 GB storage provided with a Gmail account, you can store your Google photos, drives and WhatsApp chat backup work will have to be done.
