WhatsApp will allow you to silence annoying people in group chats
The jacket cutters, compulsive redactors, those who they share all kinds of chains, fearful of hoaxes and generators of spam or abusive have their hours counted in WhatsApp And it is that the messaging application is working to clip the wings of all this class of users who only make conversations difficult and communication in group chatswith all kinds of messages that, in most cases, have little to do with what is being discussed.They will soon be able to be banned from the conversation.
At least that's what emerges from the WhatsApp translation system A service in which volunteer users participate to translate from English into different languages around the world the buttons, menus, screens, and information that pick up the app. A process that takes place before a new feature is released, and that hints at what's to come. In the case at hand here, the possibility of blocking participants in a chat
At the moment few details are known in this regard, as only a few lines have appeared in the WhatsApp translation system to that users help to locate it. It's these lines of text that don't alert you with the new feature when encountering a variety of options: Couldn't block XXX, you blocked XXX, blocking XXX, unblocking XXX” ¦
The translation system does not relate these phrases directly to group chats, but it is a function logical and demanded by the users themselves before that person who doesn't know when to stop when sending messages Or those who , fearing that a mysterious and ancient prophecy that has been circulating on WhatsApp for a short time (note the irony in these words) will come true, forwarding all kinds of messages that are nothing more than hoaxes, meaningless chains or even false information that does nothing but misinform users. Not to mention the exhaustion of constantly accessing a conversation where only trivial content is shared, or the battery consumptionthat occurs with it.
Thus, we imagine that in future updates, WhatsApp will offer finally the possibility to block a chat participant, preventing posting and sharing new content maybe for a while or forever, although presumably without removing it from the conversation entirelySomething that moves away from the current powers of the administrators of WhatsApp groups, who can only delete it permanently to not share or view new content More useful administrative powers to prevent spam or abuseof the application.
At the moment only it remains to wait without a specific date to see how this new function that seems to be still in the making materializes. And if it will actually allow group admins or others to mute and not remove a participant.Something that more than one user will like.
