WhatsApp Update: Quick reply, text formatting and lot more this time:
It seems to be the season of WhatsApp updates as the Facebook-owned chat app is constantly rolling out new features and updates to make itself more engaging and fun. The latest Android update adds quick reply feature, which lets the users reply straight from the notification bar. The update for now is available only for those users who have signed up for beta testers on Google Play.
Once the update is available for all, users would be able to see a reply button in the notification panel with the WhatsApp message they receive. The reply button expands to a pop-up window, so the users would no longer have to open the app to reply. The users simply need to tap the message to view the full conversation in the app. Though this updates is available only for select users, WhatsApp in January had added a similar quick reply feature for its iPhone users.
Here are 5 new features on WhatsApp which you must know :
In an attempt to revive the Hangout app, Google also pushed out a quick reply update for its Android users in January. The quick reply feature is more or less similar to what Apple offers as OS feature in iPhone.
Along with quick reply, the update also adds few other options for the Android users. Users can now tap on either profile picture or group image of any conversation instead of long pressing the chat name to get the list of actions. The text formatting feature which was earlier available in beta version is also finally available. Users can now bold, italicise, or even strikethrough the texts.
WhatsApp in previous update had introduced a feature only for its iOS platform which allowed the user to save media files for specific chats or groups. The chat app recently extended its file sharing ability by allowing the users to share pdf files on the app for both iOS and Android platforms. While this update allowed the users to share only local pdf files, a later update added a new feature which lets the user convert Google docs and sheets into pdf before sharing it. Other new and interesting additions to the app include- array of new emojis , shared link history tab and ability to add 256 members to any group on the app.
