WhatsApp will include a tab with all the links shared by chat
Little by little the messaging application WhatsApp continues to change and improve for all users. And it seems to have left behind its hieratic era in which simplicity was based on keeping the messaging service stable, without news. Something that seems somewhat risky given the growing number of communication tools that continue to surround this application, and that are committed to fill of services to the user and satisfy all your communication needs.Now, a new update hints at what's to come.
And it is through its beta or test version for Android that new information arrives, showing functions that are being checked and adjusted in steps prior to its arrival to all users. Features focused on making it easy to retrieve those links that have been received through an individual chatof this app. This is especially useful for recovering a funny viral post, or for re-accessing an important document shared via link.
All you have to do is access the information screen for a specific chat and click on the files sharedThe difference is that there are now two tabs, being able to switch between the photographs and videos received and the links A chronological list of web page preview cards with their respective messages and links with which to access these contents without looking for them directly in the immensity of the chat. Something really useful for the most clueless. But there is more news.
Apart from being able to quickly access all of this shared content at some point, WhatsApp has improved the option for copy and share these links, either from the new links tab or through a conversation or chat. To date, the process was divided into three steps: select a message with a link, press the option share and choose the destination conversation All this to copy and paste only the link, without including the text of the message.Now, a simple long press allows you to copy the link to the clipboard to paste it later with another long press in a WhatsApp chat or in any other text box of the mobile. This issue should expedite the process and significantly facilitate the process of forwarding any link in WhatsApp
Finally, and for those who are more organized, WhatsApp has included a new interesting function to keep the safe important messages even if you decide to clean the content chats. Thus, in the option Empty chat, where it is already possible to activate maintenance that deletes messages older than 30 days or 6 months , now WhatsApp allows check a box to keep those that have been marked as favorites A process that will leave the grain visible among so much straw.
All in all, an interesting update but one that is still being tested in its beta version for the platform Android We will have to wait, then, to see how many of these features arrive for the rest of the people in the next WhatsApp update
