Android pit reported that the popular instant messaging app might
adopt a few features like the IMAGE LIKE and MARK AS UNREAD
BUTTON from its parent company Facebook in its coming updates.
The report did not say whether the features would be available in
the next update.


Image like for WhatsApp

According to a tweet by whatsApp beta tester Ilhan pektas one of
the few features to be expected in future updates is a like button
for images, indicating that WHATSAPP users would be able to like
profile pictures of their friends and also like images shared in
groups as well.

The tweet stated;

Like button bei geteilten bildern in
Whatsapp #cool

Which is in German language but when translated into English
language with Google translate .

It means ;

Like button for divided image in WhatsApp #Cool


Mark as unread for whatsapp

One of the other few improvements we might see in coming
updates is the option to mark a message as unread.

What this means is that, after reading a message you can mark
that message as unread, so the message would still appear as an
unread message.

This works for those awkward moments when you receive a
message from someone and don't want to reply, when you use the
Mark As Unread option the person who sent the message wouldn't
get the blue ticks that shows that you have read the message.

The mark as unread feature was first seen on an internal
WhatsApp document leaked on a Spanish website Adslzone.net .

The document showed the mark as unread feature being
discussed.


My thoughts on these Features

These features are pretty impressive but I don't think they should
be implemented.

The problems I have with the updates are;


The New Likes Feature

This new feature is really nice but I think it will cause depression
and Low self esteem just as it does on Facebook.

When you upload a new profile picture and don't get a lot of likes
you start to feel depressed and jealous when you see your friend
getting tons of likes on their pictures.


Mark as unread for whatsapp messages

This feature is also a good one but I think it's going to reduce the security of your
chats.

Anybody can easily read your messages and use this option to hide
his tracks.

And when check it you still as unread and you believe no one has read your messages.


Regardless, they are pretty useful.
As I said earlier, there are no guarantees that these features would
make it to the next update.

What do you think about this features?
Do you think they should be implemented or not?

that is what i even like the most!!!

I don't like the "mark as unread" who doesn't know when messages are unread. Soon they will include self destruct feature.
