In WhatsApp they tend to go slowly but firmly. And it is that no movement or advance is full of controversy in the messaging application most widespread and used in the world. Even more taking into account all the alternatives that are lurking and that want to win that prize. Now WhatsApp goes one step further and improves its service web That is, the version for computers . Quite a comfort to write messages to the usual contacts, but with a physical keyboard and a screen larger than that of a mobile.
Thus, the WhatsApp Web service that was released at the beginning of the year has received important improvements to be more complete. Something that will begin to silence criticism from many users, who were demanding the same possibilities on the computer as on the mobile, even more so when WhatsApp Web is nothing more than a reflection of everything that is happening on the mobile. Now, finally, it allows more management of chats or conversations From creating new groups with several contacts, to being able to archive them. Among other issues that we detail below.
In such a way, the user who wishes can now create new groups directly from the computer, completely forgetting about the mobile. Simply click on the three dots on the left side of WhatsApp Web and select the new option New Group Just as it happens on the mobile, all you have to do is select a photo for the group, being able to choose between a capture with the webcam or upload an image previously stored on your computer. And also add a name. With this it remains choose the contacts who will participate in it and finish the process to start communicating.
Along with this long-awaited feature the user can now also archive conversations already started. A good way to avoid showing in which chats you participate or, simply, keep the screen clean of those conversations in which you no longer speak. Just perform right click with the mouse on any of the chats on the left side and select archive conversation The only problem is that there is no section for archived chats, as there is on mobile, so you have tosearch for the conversation in the bar on the left if you want to retrieve it.
Apart from these issues, there are other notable improvements that will make the experience of using WhatsApp Web more comfortable, and almost as complete as in the computer. On the one hand, there is the possibility of customizing the user's profile. And it is that it is already possible to choose an image from the computer to place it and adjust it so that the rest of the contacts can see it. On the other hand, there are the notifications, which can now be controlled and applied to different chats individually. You just have to display the new tab that appears on the right side of each chat and choose the mute option, just as it happens on mobile.
In short, advances that make WhatsApp Web a better alternative, although it is taking a long time.
