Popular social media platform, WhatsApp has added
great new features and recently revealed that it
has a user base of more than one billion users which
means, one in seven people use Watsapp on earth.
With such a huge user base, Watsapp recently
improved its app with a host of new features with
improved speed, security, reliability and simplicity.
Watsapp earlier announced that it manages over 100
million voice calls every day on the app, that makes
it more than 1,100 calls per second and has
upgraded the desktop versions of the app.
These new features are user friendly and they make
messaging more fun.
Below are five latest features to enjoy on
WhatsApp:


(1) Video calling
WhatsApp just confirmed that you can now do a
video call on Android, iOS and Windows. The ‘Video
Call’ and ‘Voice Call’ choices are at the top dialer
button. A new dialog giving the option between a
standard voice call and a video call will appear.

(2) Tag
Tagging others within a WhatsApp group is now
possible even if the people have muted the
conversation. You can avail this feature by typing @
and click on the contact you wish to tag from the
appearing list.

(3) Picture edit
So nice! WhatsApp now allow you to doodle on as
well as edit on the photos before sending them to
your friends. When you select a photo from your
camera while messaging, few icons on the top right
will appear with options to, crop the photo, draw a
doodle, enter a text or a sticker to the photo. Then
the picture message is ready to be sent.

(4) Most viewed
This feature sadly works only on Apple devices as of
now. Go to ‘Settings’ and then select ‘Account’ and
then ‘Storage Usage’. There, you will be able to see
the total number of messages at the top of the
page and also a list of chats, ranked according to
the number of messages sent to the number. This
helps you see who is your ‘best friend’– which
contact have you spoken the maximum number of
lines.

(5) GIFs
The 2.16.16 update allows you to send videos (six
seconds or shorter) and Live Photos and GIFs. You
can search the Giphy library to search for GIFs to
send to your friends on your WhatsApp.
