Whatsapp updates – Search and send animated GIFs
Starting from v2.17.6 version of WhatsApp will be made possible to automatically search the GIF of Giphy.
Today if we wanted to send a gif, would first have to look for it, then copy it and only then we could send it to our contact.
With this search feature, we can go through a button, see the GIFs directly from Whatsapp, select it and send it to our contact, as we used to do with the simple emoticons.
Whatsapp updates – Video calling
Starting from version 2.16.318, Whatsapp will provide the ability to video call your friends.
If you want to test the functionality, you have to have both you and your partner to install the Whatsapp update, otherwise you will be reported a message that you will be informed that the called party does not have an updated version.
To make the video call, just start the conversation with the caller, select the call button, and choose between the two modes that whatsapp will propose, that is, call only voice or video call.
Whatsapp updates list
The main changes we’ll see in future for Whatsapp updates, are:
- You can put on our photos and videos sent through the app, emoticons, text or even draw you freely with your finger that will assume the role of brush.
- Increased accuracy of the camera’s zoom, moving away or drawing using thumb and index finger on the screen (the classic zoom also used to increase the screen size of the Android browser.
- Possibility to use the front flash for an improvement in the quality of the shot (is this is for you lovers of selfie), it is activated by a small button-shaped torch.
At the end of the count is nothing more than a very bright white screen that is triggered when shooting a photo, but thanks to this mode, as you can see from the two photos that follow, selfie quality improves considerably.
- Support for reading new file formats including PDF, very useful for those who use Whatsapp for work or for other reasons has to do with files of this type.
- Jan Koum, as well as founder, has also said in recent interviews that he wants to extend the number of supported formats, we will see in the next beta what formats he has in mind to support.
