One of the positive points of the beta versions of the applications is that we can know the features that will arrive in the app ahead of time. WhatsApp has released a new update for the Google Play test program with new features coming to the app right now, or in a few weeks for those who have the final version. Learn here the news that land the messaging app in its version 2.20.201.10.
There are four new features that have been added in this update. Some of them very useful and that you were possibly waiting for. The most interesting is the new storage manager. In previous versions, we could access WhatsApp storage information to see how much memory it took up and from which conversations that expense came from. Now, the manager interface has been improved with much clearer information First, a line is displayed with the use of free and busy storage. Also, instead of sorting by chats, they're sorted by media files. In this way, we can see how much memory we have used by sending or downloading images and videos, documents, etc. Of course, we can also see the storage of each conversation.
On the other hand, the new manager will also allow us to order files by larger or smaller size, as well as free up storage from the app itself app.
Mute groups forever and more
Another novelty coming to WhatsApp is the possibility of silencing groups forever. Previously it was only possible to do so for 8 hours , a week or a year. Now we will not have to mute it again after spending 365 days without any notification notice. On the other hand, WhatsApp has added a function called 'Media Guidelines' that is visible when including text or emojis in the images we send. Now it will be possible to align and straighten them thanks to some guidelines that the application will display, something that already happens on Instagram.
Finally, WhatsApp Business has decided to remove the call and video call button from verified accounts. The reason is unknown, but it is Accounts that have verification will likely be able to choose whether to display the icon for the user to call support.Or, on the contrary, hide it so that the consultation is only through chat.
All these improvements are already coming to the application, but for the moment only to users who have the beta version. In addition, they are features that are implemented in a phased manner. This means that it could take a few days to appear. Features should reach final version in the next few days, as long as there are no bugs.
If you want to try these features now, just sign up for the WhatsApp beta program To do so, go to the Google Play Store and search for 'WhatsApp'. Enter the application page and scroll down to the bottom. You will see an option that says 'Join the beta program'. Confirm the registration and wait for a new update to appear. After upgrading, you'll join the beta program and get to try new features before anyone else. Of course, you should keep in mind that it is an unstable version.If you want to go back to the stable version, just go to the Play Store again, search for the app and unregister it.
