YOGYAKARTA - The instant messaging application WhatsApp continues to innovate to make its products more popular with users. Most recently, the California-based company will release 8 new features at the end of 2021.
The latest WhatsApp feature that will be released previously has gone through the trial phase using WhatsApp Beta. From the trial, 8 features are said to be ready to be released to the public.
Quoted by VOI from Gadgets Now, below are 8 new features that will be released at the end of 2021, one of which is hiding "Last Seen" for certain contacts. Here is the full summary.
1. Multi-Device Without Internet
One of the features developed by WhatsApp is accessing 1 account using 2 different devices. Previously, users could access 1 account with 2 devices using WhatsApp Web. In that way, users can access 1 account on 2 devices with a note that the main account on the smartphone is active.
Later, with the Multiple-Device feature, users can use 1 account on 2 devices without depending on the main contact. Users can also access WhatsApp Web even though the WhatsApp application on the cellphone is offline.
2. Community Groups Within Groups
The Community feature allows users to create groups within existing groups. This is intended to allow group members to discuss specific topics with some members, which are unknown to all group members.
Group members can also create multiple groups within a group. Say you create "Project 1" with 5 group members, then create "Project 2" with other group members discussing different topics.
3. Hiding Last Seen for Certain Contacts
For some users, disabling Last Seen mode can preserve their privacy. However, because this mode applies to all contacts on WhatsApp, users often choose to activate it.
For the latest WhatsApp update released later this year, Last Seen mode can be enabled for some contacts that you don't think need to know your activity status on WhatsApp.

4. Check Voice Note Before Sending
The next feature that is rumored to be released by WhatsApp is checking Voice Notes before sending. So far, WhatsApp users can only send Voice Notes directly without being able to check them first.
After the user creates a Voice Note, a play button will appear in the middle between delete and send. This button can be used to check the Voice Note that you created before sending it.
In addition to the 4 features described above, there are also a number of other features that will be released by WhatsApp such as a new design of contact info in the application, then emoji warnings cannot be used, and a reaction feature, and the duration of auto-delete messages.
Those are some of the features that will be released by the WhatsApp application that you can try at the end of 2021. To use it, users can update the application to the latest version to enjoy various interesting features of WhatsApp.
