This is how links to web pages will be displayed in WhatsApp
Little by little the application WhatsApp is incorporating new functions and features to its messaging service. And it is that being the most used chat application in the world requires a constant effort to not lose the crown and not disappoint your users. In addition, the margin for improvement of this application continues to be wide, being able to see how other less used tools already have more possibilities , better design and more security in your communications.Now, WhatsApp decides to make things easier for users who share links to web pages through their messages.
Thus, the new beta version available for the platform Android presents small visualizations of the content of a web page. That is, a small window that helps to predict what the user can find when clicking on said link A question relatively new to WhatsApp which undoubtedly improves the user experience to avoid wasting time, unnecessary questions, and avoidable risksAll this with a convenient function that, for the moment, is in testing phase
For now, this is a marked improvement over what was seen many months ago when typing an address or a web page would bring up a small preview Of content.This feature has been improved in version 2.12.312 of WhatsApp for Android with cards that show both the icon of the web page (if it has one), as part of its description and the address to which the user will be directed. Of course, this function is still under construction, finding an incomplete and very limited operation Thus, only the user who sends the address is able to see these cards of preview, even when the recipient also has this version of WhatsApp
As can be seen in this version, all you have to do is type a web address so that a small window appears on the screen with the information of said link. When it is sent, the card is included in the conversation with the address information, summary, and main image if it is a page.At the moment it is only possible to send psimple web pages, but also content such as Instagram photos, Twitter messages or videos of YouTube with this format. Of course, not all previews are complete, so in some cases the image or some text that indicates what it is is missing.
In addition, it is not possible to show web images, where this function would be most useful, avoiding having to access the browser to see it, instead of having it in the chat. Something that other applications like Telegram do allow. However, WhatsApp is not identified as the most advanced and agile application when it comes to introducing new features, so we will have to wait a little longer until this feature will improve and be released for all mobile users. At the moment you can try it by downloading the beta version from the official page of WhatsAppIt's free
