This is the new function that WhatsApp could include in its application
In WhatsApp they know that sitting idly by will not help them continue to grow and achieve their goals billion active users And it is that the most widespread messaging application must continue providing functionalities and useful but simple services to avoid that users jump into any of the other available messaging applications.Perhaps for this reason they are trying to facilitate one of the more or less common activities that usually occur with their application: take screenshots of a conversation
To date, it's nothing new to take a snapshot of a portion of a chat to share with another contact. A good way to leave testimony of a conversation without having to forward messages or make people think that you are misrepresenting information Of course, for now, users must take advantage of the virtues of the operating systems Android and iOS to take these screenshots with a button combination A practical not always comfortablenot known by all users, but could be accommodated with the introduction of a simple button in WhatsApp that would do all the work
This is what emerges from the information found in the WhatsApp translation systemA tool where volunteer users from all over the world donate their time and linguistic knowledge to help translate menus, buttons, functions and all the text that reaches the application. A tool that has already been used on other occasions to filter information about the new functions the company was working on Of course, not everything that reaches this translation service necessarily ends up becoming a real function.
At the moment it is only known that this function would allow taking screenshots through WhatsApp In other words, a completely integrated function through of a button with which to add these images Or that is what could be found translated in the service Something that could be included when add a picture in a sharing conversationHowever, it is unknown if it will be possible to edit or capture the conversation at will, and if this function will have some kind of limitNot everyone wants their chats and messages to be shared with others.
We will have to wait for WhatsApp to try this functionality and decide to include it in some official version soon At the moment it is known that the translation service focuses this function on the platform Android Without official confirmation, we just have to wait forWhatsApp enter this function. Maybe with some limits, as was the case in Snapchat in its beginnings, where a notification alerted the user about any contact who took a screenshot of the shared content.
Is this function really necessary? Would it be a good addition to make things easier for users? Could you compromise the privacy of WhatsApp conversations? At the moment we can only wait to confirm this news, perhaps in a future update of the application for Android
