News & Reviews:   Whatsapp

Based on a report by wabetainfo, it seems that the developers of WhatsApp could be working on a feature that allows users to import chat history from one phone number to another. With that being said, it could mean that users might not need to import chat history using a third-party service such as Google Drive or iCloud in the future.

After WhatsApp has implemented its new privacy policy and requested the users to accept it, it has gotten international backlash. Although the company has stepped back without deactivating users' accounts, there are still some consequences the users will face by not accepting the new policy.

Hard-handed approaches could make some people push back harder, something WhatsApp is finding that out the hard way. Even though users would have their accounts deactivated, the company still failed to get people to agree to its new privacy policy. That's probably why its plans have changed.

WhatsApp has got into a few troubles lately and one of it will be the absurdity of WhatsApp privacy. Although we notice that a lot of users have been moving to other alternative messaging apps, it still remains its popularity and it still continues to introduce and improve on their features. Today, the developer is working on the improvement of its disappearing message feature.

Earlier this year, WhatsApp made a serious blooper about explaining its new privacy policy which allows Facebook and Instagram to display ads that might be relevant to you. Many users didn't like that and have jumped ship to other platforms ever since. WhatsApp has since then made some changes in its Terms and Service and Privacy Policy about how the user's data is collected and shared.

Many Malaysians use WhatsApp as their primary messaging app. So what if you wake up one day to find WhatsApp no longer working for you? In a new report, security researchers have confirmed that this is possible.

Due to WhatsApp's privacy issues, Signal has risen to fame after Tesla's CEO Elon Musk subtly promoted the app by tweeting 'Use Signal'. After that, the messaging app has recorded a surge in new users and caused the company to experience verification codes delay. Now, it is found out that the person who owns WhatsApp is also a user of Signal.

There's no denying that while some are concerned about WhatsApp's new privacy policy, most will continue to use it. As such, new features that improve the app are always appreciated. This time around, the developer is working on a new feature related to chat history.

It seems that a tweet by @WABetaInfo revealed that WhatsApp could be working on allowing users to alter the playback speed on voice messages in the near future. While not much is known in regards to when the feature will be publicly available, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is officially available.

Apart from making images disappear in the near future, it seems that the WhatsApp team is also working on making messages self-destruct. Not exactly a new feature, you already do it on your WhatsApp but it's more like testing a different expiration date.
