These are the new features of WhatsApp for iPhone

Thanks to WAbetainfo we have been able to analytically know each and every one of the improvements included in the latest update of WhatsApp for iPhoneiOS users are going to receive juicy news, which affects both design and functions. Also included are changes that make the app lighter. Let's see them in parts.

Improvements in the widget and emoji search engine

This is version 2.17.50 of WhatsApp for iPhone, and offers several types of improvements.First of all, the locations have been updated, making the send location function unproblematic due to being out of date. Later, a novelty related to the possibility of setting conversations has been added. Now, when we have a contact whose conversation is pinned, will also be reflected in the WhatsApp widget Specifically, we will see a small pin icon, next to the profile picture of that contact.

Another novelty that we found is the introduction of a default emoji search engine. The WhatsApp emoji catalog is already so massive that many times we can get lost looking for a specific one. Therefore, an emoji search engine is a blessing for users who really like to use these symbols. Of course, this update will only be available to iPhone users with at least iOS 9.

WhatsApp album and wallpapers

More specifically, we find other novelties, such as the possibility to download a group of photos directly to our WhatsApp folder Clicking on the group, the option “Save all” will appear. In addition, it includes a very useful feature: if we try to download them a second time in this folder, we will get a message asking if we are sure.

The latest update also includes a novelty that many users will not notice, but that will help to optimize the operation of the app. These are the wallpapers, before they were stored in the application itself, but from now on they are stored on Facebook's servers Thanks to this, the app it will become lighter. On the other hand, if we want to make changes to the wallpaper we are going to need to connect to the Internet.

Bold and italics

An expected function was the one that many users will like has to do with fonts. Until now, a user could include bold, strikethrough or italics in their texts by writing symbols before and after the sentence. Since the arrival of the new update, this function is integrated by default. Thus, we only have to click on the word, and a menu will appear with the possibility of pasting, selecting, and now also including the different sources.

Apart from these changes, the inevitable phrase "bug fixes" is also included, which we never know to what extent they are true, since they do not specify. We're also told that video streaming has gotten better, but no matter how much better it gets, it won't stop us ultimately from depending on connection strength.

As you have seen, this is a powerful update, with specific changes that improve the service in many ways. On the one hand, make it more effective, and on the other, they allow a greater level of customization Now all that remains is for them to finally decide to include a delete function of messages that also affects the recipient, and we end up making our day. In the meantime, we'll enjoy complaining in italics.
