These are the new features that are coming to WhatsApp
It seems that in WhatsApp they don't stop working to bring improvements to the messaging application most widespread in the world. A point in its favor to maintain hegemony in this crowded market where other applications also continue to innovate and trying to attract the attention of users. Perhaps for this reason, and since they are part of Facebook, WhatsApp has not stopped working to improve the system and offer new features, even if they are issues that other alternatives have been offering for some time.The latest tracks bet on sending a new type of file through chats: documents
Or at least that is what can be seen from its translation platform, where the users themselves work voluntarily offering their language skills to localize the application in any country. And it is that, although it may not seem like it, there are all kinds of menús, phrases explanatory, tutorials and buttons that need to be translated into any language where this application has reached. Also features that are yet to come, such as newly discovered ones that directly reference document submissionand at delete messages automatically
In the first case, the translation system shows how it is necessary to translate into Spanish and other languages the word Document and Documents Or what is the same: document and documents In addition, a line expresses the context in which will work: General settings, chats and calls, Auto-download media, documents So it seems likely that WhatsApp finally allow the sending of text documents, presumably type doc and/or PDF, through the chats In addition, a download criteria could be established as already happens with photos and videos, thus avoiding saturating the terminal's memory and consuming rate data.
On the other hand, there is the automatic deletion of messages A function that would aim at efficiency and privacy, allowing the user not to leave traces of their conversations once a certain amount of time has elapsed Of this second new feature, it is only known that several times could be established, with the deleted after 30 days being present in the translation system , or after 6 months As can be seen from the translation phrase, it would be a function available for each chat, being able to activate it to not leave a record of the messages exchanged after a certain time. Something useful to save the backs of the user, and also to save the memory of the terminal. A good weapon for the infidels
At the moment they are only phrases in a translation system that do not certify the real arrival of this function And it is still necessary to pass a test phase and be approved for all users. However, they give a good account of WhatsApp's effort to catch up and fight against alternatives such as Telegram, which have already offered these and other features for a long time, although They don't have that many users.It only remains to wait for more details about it, without there being dates or processes that help to guess when they will be available.
