News & Reviews:   Whatsapp

We first found out that WhatsApp has been working on a self-deleting feature last month. The feature has since been renamed from Disappearing Messages to Delete Messages and has gotten some minor changes in the recent beta 2.19.348 Android version of the app.

Yesterday, Facebook introduced a unifying payment service that works across Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram to the public. The payment service called ‘Facebook Pay’ has started to roll out to users in the US after its announcement. It is said that they are working on bringing the service to more countries as well!

Both Twitter and WhatsApp have just launched new updates. The new feature on Twitter makes your feed fills with topics of your interest whereas WhatsApp is adding more security with your group chats.

After 9 months since WhatsApp has updated the Touch ID and Face ID feature on iPhone, the fingerprint ID feature is now available on all Android users to unlock the APP! With this extra authentication, you will no longer need to install a third-party privacy APP to lock it up and keep your secrets safe!

Based on a tweet by @WABetainfo, WhatsApp could possibly come with a feature that allows it to be used on multiple devices simultaneously. While they have not given us an ETA of when this feature will be available, the new update gives users greater flexibility when it comes to communicating via WhatsApp.

The Huawei Mate 30 series certainly got a buzz over the news, not because of its entry in the Malaysia market but the concerns of Google apps usage. The US government and Huawei are still in a rocky relationship, but someone might have found a loophole to bypass that. 

Based on a statement by AndroidAuthority, WhatsApp could be getting the disappearing messages feature in the future. To go into more detail, this feature lets the user determine how long the messages will stay visible before it deletes itself from both the sender and the recipient's device.

If you were wondering why Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger couldn’t load, here’s why. According to DownDetector, the services were down at around 8PM last night and it seems like the outage was global. 

I’m sure you’ve all seen the Status tab on your WhatsApp. It is essentially the same thing as Facebook Stories and Instagram Stories. However, I don’t believe that many people actually use that feature on the app but that may just change. 

Back then when you purchase a new Huawei device, it’ll usually come with various apps preinstalled with one of them being Facebook. That’s about to change, as Facebook will no longer allow their applications such as WhatsApp, Instagram as well as their very own Facebook app to come pre-installed in any Huawei and Honor devices.
