You can now see WhatsApp States from the iPhone widget
If you have been notified of a new WhatsApp update on your iPhone, it is because there are news waiting to be downloaded. Of course, do not expect a night mode with which to better read WhatsApp chats in low light environments or options to launch surveys in groups. However, it does have news regarding WhatsApp States, which can now be taken directly to the widget or shortcut window, among other details that we will discuss next.
This is version 2.18.40 of WhatsApp for iPhone, which is now available to everyone for free through the App Store. It lists several new features already available to all users of the Apple platform, but also other hidden news that will arrive soon. Something that the WaBetaInfo account usually brings to light. Let's go by steps.
Once the new version is downloaded, we will be able to see the latest WhatsApp States directly from the widget that iPhone allows us to place on the desktop From In this way, in addition to having access to the latest chats and conversations of the application that are displayed in the top row of the widget, we can also launch the latest Statuses from the bottom row. In this lower part, the latest publications are updated, as a direct access to these contents without having to go through the main WhatsApp screen.
Along with this novelty, WhatsApp for iPhone also includes the option to continue listening to the audio when you leave the chat The function was already available in previous versions of the application, however, not all users could use it. With this new version, the sound is played as a song or audio through the iOS player, so it can be controlled independently from outside of WhatsApp, without having to stay in the chat to listen to it until the end.
Lastly, and although it is not listed in the news section of the App Store, WhatsApp for iPhone now has a new function for contacting developers. It is used to establish contact with the technical managers of the application when it fails to start due to a bug or failureA good way to directly report what is happening so that it can be solved as soon as possible.
And up to here the functions visible and available with this update. Of course, they are not the only ones. Hidden in the code that this update adds are other interesting things that are in development and coming soon WaBetaInfo has revealed that WhatsApp is working on allowing group video calls. In addition, translations for the stickers have been discovered, which makes us think that the function is almost ready to be released in the near future.
