News & Reviews:   Whatsapp

Finally, WhatsApp might soon allow users to create custom stickers on the messaging platform. The feature gets spotted and shared by tipster Mukul Sharma in a few screenshots on making stickers using our own images. If nothing goes wrong, it might get released with the upcoming update.

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.

"Wait a minute...but we already have WhatsApp for desktop, right?" That's what we thought too, but the WhatsApp team is developing something far more than that. In case you didn't know, they are developing a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) for both Windows and macOS.

For most WhatsApp users, the Multi-device feature was the one that's worth noting in 2021. But business users are all hoping for a way to monetise the platform, and the company has been working on that for months. Now, we have some hints on ad creation for the platform.

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.

Two months ago, the WhatsApp team was working on Multi-Device support and it's finally available. Well, sort of - although the function has been rolled out to both Android and iOS devices, the Multi-Device is still labelled as a beta in the WhatsApp settings.

What is Community and how is that different from WhatsApp groups? According to WABetaInfo.com, the team just recently tested out this beta test and it's still under development. However, there is a preview so here's what they learnt.

Have you ever tried sending voice messages in WhatsApp, but got cut off because you let go of the button? The chances of that happening isn't zero, and sometimes you might get distracted and want to get back to recording your message. In that case, wouldn't a pause button be amazing?

As many of you should know by now, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram servers were down late last night in Malaysia but it seemed that the whole world experienced it together. Anyway, all the servers are back online and Facebook just published an apology and update of what happened.

For a lot of Malaysians, WhatsApp is the chat messaging app of choice. It's a user-friendly app and has useful features like Multi-device. The public beta was made available to Malaysians just recently, but an update is already in development.
