WhatsApp will allow you to send photo albums
Table of contents:
More news is coming to the most used instant messaging application in the world: WhatsApp. Along with real-time location sharing and the new video editing interface, we have to add the ability to allow sending entire photo albums. Something similar to what we already see on Instagram? Let's see this new function in WhatsApp in more detail.
According to the Twitter account specializing in WhatsApp news WABetaInfo in the next version 2.17.20 for iOS we will be able to share a photo gallery of at least 5 items at once. A procedure similar to what we already see on Instagram. You just have to remember that both WhatsApp and Instagram belong to the same person, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Now we know where the idea of creating WhatsApp albums came from.
Photo albums arrive on WhatsApp
When we receive a album on our WhatsApp account, this is how we will see it:
Three reduced-size photos forming a mosaic, and then a thumbnail with the remaining photos from the album. Once we open the remaining photos, these appear vertically, being able to choose them one by one to, in turn, forward them, if you wish.

This new function results in an improvement of the appearance of the app, in those occasions in which we send a large number of photos at the same time. Aesthetically speaking, it's not very nice to see how your conversation screen suddenly fills up with a row of photos With this new function of photo albums in WhatsApp the rooms chat rooms will be neater and easier on the eye.
This new feature will first be available to WhatsApp users on iPhone. Let's hope that the Android update will be released soon and we can all enjoy WhatsApp photo albums.
