News & Reviews:   whatsapp beta

WhatsApp is currently rolling out a new feature for its group chat that gives administrators the power to delete messages sent by their group participants. The ability will remove the message for everyone in the group, essentially enabling for better moderation in group chats against unwanted messages.

One of the most popular messaging platforms in the world, WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that is sure to make users that are prone to typos happy. Get this, the messaging app is working on the ability to edit text messages after they have already been sent!

In another episode, WhatsApp is looking to bring in another feature for everyone. Although it's not new, the next update is bringing the 'filter chats' function officially from WhatsApp Business.

Previously, we reported that WhatsApp was developing a second version of the multi-device function. The team seems to have settled on a name called WhatsApp Companion that allows to you link a secondary device to your current WhatsApp account.

WhatsApp, by far the most used messaging app in Malaysia is facing some stiff competition from its rivals, especially from Telegram. In fact, back in January 2021, a lot of WhatsApp users made the switch to Telegram after the former’s questionable change in privacy policy.

More than a year later, the Meta-owned messaging app is now trying to retain as well as win over users back again with a slew of new features currently in the works. These include message reactions, polls, true multi-device support and the ability to send files up to 2GB in size.

A message reaction in WhatsApp? Yup, you read that right. The WhatsApp team is finally working on this feature and it's currently out in beta testing for some beta users. The last we heard about this was roughly seven months ago, so let's check out if there's any new progress.

Having WhatsApp groups for various reasons like a working chat group or group projects are the norm but sometimes it can get annoying with the number of spam messages. Just recently, WABetainfo just found out that the WhatsApp team is working on a new Communities function for that.

It's understood that when we listen to a voice chat in WhatsApp, we can't leave the chat room until it's finished otherwise it would get cut off whenever we do. Well, the WhatsApp team is actually working on that and the new feature will be rolling out for iOS first globally.

The WhatsApp team has definitely been testing out a lot of new features lately. In this latest instalment, many of you are probably going to like this because they are now working on reaction notifications.

In the world of social messaging, having been "Seen" without a reply is probably not a good sign. WhatsApp may change that, though, as the development team just submitted a new update in the Google Play Beta program to solve that.
