WhatsApp is already testing States

You may not know this, but WhatsApp is working on various important features So important that they could change their concept of messaging application for that of a social network We refer to their new States , which have little or nothing to do with the phrases in which each user shows their WhatsApp status, what they think, or what you want to express to other contacts. Rather, it is an imitation of the Instagram Stories or Instagram Stories, with ephemeral content to share a moment, a sensation or any other creativity that occurs.And he's not just working on it, he's already testing it.

The idea is very simple. Just as we have a messaging tool, calls and video calls, soon WhatsApp will have a kind of wall or Status In it you can share photos and videos of a few seconds that disappear 24 hours after being published In principle, they can be seen by any contact, and their operation is also a carbon copy of the Instagram Stories All you have to do is click on theright to go to the next moment, or left to go back. It could even be recreated at the same time by holding your finger down on the screen for a few seconds

A feature in development

Of course these WhatsApp statuses will arrive soon For now They are still in the development phase, providing improvements and qualities to a concept that is not fully defined. However, many of its details are already known. This is thanks to the almost forensic analysis of the beta or test versions of WhatsApp for the different platforms. They include some lines of code, hidden, that speak and show the operation to experts such as WaBetaInfo A researcher who is ahead of WhatsApp when it comes to showing the things this company is working on, and that filters all this information through its social media accounts.

Now it is known that the privacy options will be well tuned in the WhatsApp States On the one hand it was already known that only contacts selected will be able to see what each one publishes on this kind of wall or profile.However, it is now known that the double check will also have a notable presence. Or something similar. Thus, if a user has thedouble check deactivated , he will not be able to know who visits her States. Something that would happen if you had it active.

But what about the visits made by that user who has the double blue check active to other people's States? Well, those other people will not be able to know if the user who has deactivated the read log has looked at their States Something that will help to maintain the privacy while gossiping about this personal content. We remind you that nothing is completely final, since the function continues in development

Finally, it has also been discovered that there will be options to automatic download of contentWe must not lose sight of the fact that these States will be made up of photos and videos, something that will directly affect the user's data rate if they are consulted outside a network WiFiIn this case WaBetaInfo handles not entirely clear data. May only auto-download content from specific contacts chosen by the user, or may choose to download photos only and no videos

At the moment the function is still in development, adding new things and polishing details every week. Although there are several lines of code in the beta versions of WhatsApp, at the moment it is not being tested except by those users with sufficient programming knowledge, or who Don't be afraid of risking the integrity of your mobiles by installing unofficial content.The rest must still wait for a time to be determined until WhatsApp lets you try it through its betatester platform
