WhatsApp could end mobile storage problems
More news for WhatsApp, or at least that is deduced from the tests they are doing in India. Aware that our mobiles are increasingly saturated by all the information (photos, videos and audio) that we receive daily, they now work in a service through which we could watch the videos in streamingwithout having to download them to our phone.
The arrival of WhatsApp to our mobile phones has been one of the biggest threats in terms of storage.Maybe you remember that time when we still took pictures with film cameras in which you had to fine-tune the pose, the light and so on since you couldn't allow twenty captures of the same photo as it happens now. And it is that if we already filled our smartphones with images with applications like WhatsApp, things have not gotten better.
First it was filling up the internal storage of the phones, something that was alleviated with external memory cards Then it was the arrival of WhatsApp and with it the feared groups in messaging -in fact, it is worth noting the difference between WhatsApp groups and broadcast groups-. That if the group of friends, that if the co-workers, the family, the farewell of someone, the surprise birthday of people who on many occasions you barely know... all this has meant that if you stop to see your photo gallery It is full of memes, photos of kittens, videos, audios, that on many occasions you don't even know how they got there.We know that you can deactivate the automatic download, but as we are curious, we always click and end up getting the image.
But in addition to the multiple photos and memes, without a doubt what has become fashionable is the sending videos In fact, with a simple review of what you have on your mobile phone you will see that possibly you have saved many videos with various pranksAlthough the issue is that on many occasions we cannot download the video, either because we do not have good coverage at that time or anything else that prevents us from downloading it. This has been howfrom WhatsApp they work on streaming reproduction to watch the videos Something that, in addition, will serve to prevent our internal memory from being suffocated.
The place chosen for the tests has been India From there what is tried is to emulate other applications that already have theBuilt-in streaming service That is, instead of the download icon appearing with a blurred image of the video, what we will have will be the popular playback icon to press play and be able to see its content without having to store it. Of course, in the event that we want to save the video we can do it without any type of problem.
This new functionality is currently in testing as it is currently experimental in India. It remains to be seen which is the script that WhatsApp has decided to follow regarding an application that has recently received video calls and that has many changes planned soon, such as making status messages disappear and creating a kind of wall like other social networks have.Undoubtedly, the application wants to become even more essential in our lives, to the point that we do everything with it.
