The messenger WhatsApp, which is very popular nowadays, has new features in its luggage again - the last major update included the new features WhatsApp calls and whatsapp web, where several browsers have recently been supported, such as Firefox and Opera. This update now includes new options for blocking contacts more quickly, marking chats as unread and certain notifications for individual contacts and groups.
Some new features make it easier to use the messenger in general, for example, it is easier to block contacts, mute certain chats and groups, and you can now limit the amount of data for Whatsapp calls in the chat settings - this in turn means poorer call quality via the mobile network. To activate this function, you click on Settings, then on Chats and calls and then on "Reduced data consumption".
Whatsapp update: mark chats as unread
The first new functionthat the update brings is that one Mark chats as unread can. To mark a chat as unread, stay on the chat for a long time and then click "Mark as unread". A notification in the status bar then reminds you to reply to the message or to read it. This isn't such a bad function at all - what do you think?
Whatsapp update: set specific notifications for individual chats and groups
As a second renewal In addition, you can now set certain notifications for certain chats and groups. For example a specific notification tone or you can set a specific LED light. In addition, it is now even easier to mute the contacts for 8 hours, 1 week or up to a year, and you can also specify whether you want to continue to display the notifications of the chat or the respective group or not. Another new feature is that you can Block contacts faster now.
As you know of course, there are emojis in Messenger (now also in Android) with different skin color - You have also included this with this update. There you can then vary between light and dark skin colors for all emojis where there is a symbol in the corner. The update is available for everyone who is the current version 2.12.194 (or newer) from the official Whatsapp website download. Of course, it could also be that the features will move into the Play Store in a few days anyway.
