Whatsapp: All The Interesting Updates You Should Know by Spazwik: 5:17pm On Oct 19, 2017
We know you’re an active user of Whatsapp – who isn’t? Since you use it a lot, it’s good to be in the know of latest features that’ll be rolled out soon, news and more.

Here are the most important of them below:



New Features

Delete For Everyone

Whatsapp is currently testing an ‘unsend’ feature which will help users to get rid of messages sent either by mistake or deliberately.

With the Delete for Everyone’ feature, those messages you send in the in the heat of anger to your friends or those you intended to sent to your girlfriend, which you mistakenly sent to your mum, can be deleted from their Whatsapp timeline using ‘unsend’ button.

According to WABetaInfo, Whatsapp is experimenting with the new feature on Android and iOS devices. The feature is said to be functioning successful thus far.

‘Recall’ or ‘unsend’ message feature have been in many social apps like WeChat and Viber. However, unlike these apps, Whatsapp is topping it up as un-sent messages will be wiped out from the notification center.

The but to this is the message can only be deleted within 5 minutes, and that’s only if it hasn’t been read by the recipient.

Yay or Nay?

Live Location

Whatsapp has announced that they are now going to be letting users share the location with friends and family in real time.

If you’ve used the sharing feature before, you know we could already share locations before, except it was static. With this one though, you’ll be able to share it in real time, almost like a Google Map of chat.

How will it work?

Open a chat with the person or group you want to share with. Go to Location, from the attach button. The attach options will have “Share Live Location”. When you select it, you can even choose for how long you intend to share location with the other person. Then hit send.

The best part? If more than one person shares their Live Location in the group, all locations will be visible on the same map.

Take note – this is an end to those times you lie to your friends that you’re in a particular location when you’re somewhere else. It won’t end well when they request you share your location.

In Zimbabwe, it’s now a crime to create a Whatsapp group without registering with the government

You heard that right!

Zimbabwe has now made it illegal to create a Whatsapp group without registration and approval from its ministry of cybersecurity.

The ministry released a statement to that effect with the rules to take effect starting November 1, 2017.

Look at the Document here

Whatsapp group administrators are also required to acquire from the Border Gezi University of Cybersecurity Threat Detection and Mitigation, a minimum of Level 1 certification.

According to the Zimbabwean government, this is in a bid to ‘protect’ the spread of propaganda on social media.
