Whatsapp Has Just Released The Most Annoying Update by modsfucker: 7:25pm On Sep 20, 2016 |
WhatsApp has added perhaps its most annoying feature ever. The app will now let people tag other users within conversations. And the notifications that come from those tags will come even if a chat has been muted – making it impossible to ignore. The feature is apparently intended as a way of allowing people to keep up with big group chats, and not to have to read or respond to every message but only to the relevant ones. The company has been looking to build up group chats – including changing the maximum group size from 100 to 256 people – and so the move appears to be a way of dealing with that. The feature has been added on Android and iOS – and the only way to turn it off seems to be turning off notifications entirely WhatsApp has long offered the opportunity to mute an annoying group chat, allowing people to turn off notifications from them for a specific amount of time or indefinitely. But the new feature gets around that, allowing people to be involved in chats that they don’t want to be, against their will. The only way to turn off the feature appears to be either to leave the group entirely or to turn off notifications from the app. To tag someone, all a user has to do is to write the @ symbol and then start typing their name. Like on Facebook, as soon as someone starts doing that the app will start looking for people – a pop-up will appear and let people choose from a list of names. Multiple people can be tagged and those people don’t have to be in a users’ address book, but must be in a chat. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/whatsapp-update-lets-people-tag-other-users-making-it-absolutely-impossible-to-ignore-annoying-group-a7317936.html |

I noticed that in Nigeria today, We are blessed, we have a lot of talent but to showcase and letting the world know about this God given talent has become so expensive and very very very tedious to partake in. Well its a bit understandable, because of the level of our economical growth. We always put the blame on the Government, Yes the government has their part to play, so also We have ours to play too, The government cannot provide for each and every one of us that’s just the plain truth take it or leave it. Promoting on plus1.com.ng is totally free we don’t charge you anything for promoting with us. its part of our contributions to help Nigeria youth showcase whatever potentials there might have, that we help them and bring a change to their life positively. We strongly believe that we Nigerians have whatever it takes to be heard globally You can promote your musics for free You can promote your Videos for free(E.g comedy videos, musics videos, graphic designed e.t.c) You can promote your artwork for free (E.g Drawing, paintings, graphic designed e.t.c) You can promote your productions for free (E.g beats, cartoon, web designed e.t.c) In fact you promote anything at all provided its legal.. please if you have anything you want to promote clickt he below link. http://www.plus1.com.ng/promote-your-talent/ thanks |

aribitoye:WhatsApp already does this since "time Imo River" Or do you want toast notifications for online contacts? In that case you need a WhatsApp mod -- stock Whatspp doesn't do that. |
