A new update is expected in the coming weeks for Whatsapp, a new version in which, for the first time in a long time, not only will new functionality come to the well-known instant messaging platform, but, this time, there will be several novelties and, of course, surely some of them you won't like en absolute.
Personally, I have to confess that I am one of the users of the platform who is not liking too much the turn it is taking since, instead of offering something as simple as being able to communicate with your friends and family, those responsible for they seem to have made the decision to turn it into a kind of snapchat rehash instead of continuing to enhance its features as a messaging application. Leaving all this a bit aside, these are the three novelties of WhatsApp.
Your location will be shared in real time in your groups.
This is one of those news that you really do not know for sure if it is beneficial or not, each one will have their opinion about it although the truth is that, from now on, all the users of your groups will be able to know at any time where you are you find.
Each of the groups you are in from now on will show a new option where a map will be displayed in which all the members will be located by a dot. The positive part of all this, perhaps that is why personally I am not so concerned, is that by default the location in the groups will be deactivated and you must be the one who authorizes the application to show your location to any member of the group.
You can delete messages if they have not been read yet.
Another of the great novelties is that, after a long time of waiting, WhatsApp will finally allow you delete any type of message as long as they have not been read by the recipient.
In this way you can cancel the sending of a message before its recipient has read it. At this point, you have to be careful since, on the one hand, if the specific message has already been read you will not be able to do anything while, secondly, everything seems to indicate that the receiver of the message is you will see a notice indicating that the message has been deleted.
The announcements arrive on the platform.
As the latest news, apparently WhatsApp will have advertising Although this will be a bit special since the agencies will be able to contact you directly through official profiles. The biggest point of discussion is that apparently they will have access to certain segmented data so they will know exactly what they should offer us to get the sale closed.
