While we're still waiting for the video calls feature on WhatsApp, new clues and rumors give us long teeth with other characteristics that could be coming down And it is that this year in WhatsApp its managers have decided to give a turning its policies 180 degrees of simplicity and stability, creating a lot of new options that have already arrived and that they are yet to do so to the most used messaging application in the world.Last thing we know? There will be a alert message system
At least those are what the account WABetaInfo on Twitter , which is usually a source of advanced information from the versions of WhatsApp test In other words, a reliable source that reveals the latest news that the developers of this application put into it. A simple message informs about the latest news seen in the beta or test version of the iOS platform, in which a is already present channel for alert messages, news and important notifications.
At the moment little information is offered about this function. Only that it will look like just another conversation on the chat screen, identifying itself above the rest thanks to a distinctive or insigniaSomething that will help users find this information channel with a simple glance among the rest of the chats.
Now, what is really interesting is what this chat will be for. In this regard we still do not have details, but WABetaInfo dares to advance some details that remind us of the official channel of the Telegram application A conversation with which WhatsApp would send all its users “news, important messages from alert and other different types of messages”. Questions that seem interesting to us to present the news in detail of an update of the application, possible alerts to ensure the integrity of the user in places that suffer some type of event, or even if it is a channel to present related news to be informed or know what is happening in the world.

So far, the closest thing is the aforementioned official Telegram channel within its own app. In this case, the channel is used to inform about update details to find out what has changed, for example. Something that does not seem entirely unreasonable considering the amount of new features that are recently arriving to WhatsApp
As reported by WABetaInfo, this function would have already reached the beta version of WhatsApp in iOS, which corresponds to the number 2.16.8.16. However, it would be deactivated by default, without appearing on the chat screen or being able to receive or consult said official channel. In addition, this function would also have reached the beta version of Windows Phone An added point to give credibility to the fact and trust that it will land soon for other users.
That's right, just how the feature works to find out if there are incidents in the WhatsApp service, which usually denies them in crashes of the application, we are left with the question of whether it will really be a really useful addition. We will remain attentive to see what happens with this system or channel of alert messages in WhatsApp.
