These are the responses to WhatsApp messages and appointments
WhatsApp continues its unstoppable pace of evolution. And it is that the most widely used messaging application in the world is willing to make up for the time lost in recent years and get up to speed with other communication servicesYour last addition? The ability to respond to specific chat messages, and, by rebound, create appointments of said messages. Something already seen in other applications such as Telegram and that is now at the doors of WhatsApp
The news comes from the latest beta or test version of WhatsApp for Android Although there were already rumors about this functionality, the recent update confirms suspicions and shows how this long-awaited feature works useful so that no user gets lost in a conversation with many messages. And it is that responding to specific messages offers many advantages in group chats, where several members produce a large amount of content and where responses to messages can be crossed with others and create confusion.
Thus, the latest beta version ( although it is possible that the novelty will be activated from the servers in other versions of the application) includes the new answer buttonJust mark a message with a long press to see it appear at the top next to the bookmark or delete buttons. This reply button allows to compose a message related to the one that has been dialed By pressing Enter, both messages are posted to the most recent part of the conversation. In this way, in mention or citation format, the original message and its specific response are reflected.
This is especially useful as everyone in the conversation can see both the appointment and the new message, thus tying the concepts together to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation if the messages were separated. But it is also convenient since, when clicking on this specific answer, the user jumps directly to the part of the chat where it originated Something that in conversations with many members and contents is once again a convenience so as not to waste time or get lost among all kinds of messages.But there is more.
These replies and quotes also work with other types of content like photos and videos So the user can repeat the process offlag the message and reply to it to get the original video or photo recorded as quotes at the end of the conversation along with your response. These quotes can always be closed with the X button to make them disappear from the conversation. Otherwise, they remain marked with the color assigned to the name of the person who wrote it. Quite a detail to identify authorship at a glance.
In short, a tool so that there is no confusion about what is being commented or what is being responded to in a conversation full of messages.However, at the moment this function is only appearing in the latest beta or test versions, so we will have to wait a little longer to enjoy it. WhatsApp is preparing for a big update with numerous features such as the arrival of GIF, the video calls and now also the answers However, there is no specific date, so we will have to be attentive to future updates.
