WhhatsApp in recent times has become like a box of chocolates. You don't know what next is coming out of it. There is small or big change every time you update the app from Play Store. The chat app has come a long way from being just a simple messaging app to becoming so much more. You can today make calls, share location, share files, set Status and do so much more from just one app. WhatsApp Payments is gong to be next one big leap for the company.
The app has 1.5 billion monthly users today and it is all because of the frequent updates pushed by the chat company to continue making the app more engaging. And the Facebook-owned chat app does not want to stop here. The company is planning on to bring some more big updates to its app. There are news all over that the company is bringing features like Payments service, groups calls, private replies and similar more big changes to the app. Many beta users have even started receiving some of these features.
So what are these top most-awaited features of WhatsApp and what will change after these feature go live. Take a look:
1. WhatsApp Payments feature: Paytm, Google Tez and government's own BHIM payment service will soon have a new competition- WhatsApp Payments. WhatsApp plans to go beyond a chat app, it is now aiming to also become a payment service provider.
WhatsApp Payments is a UPI-based payment service from chat app. Many Android and iOS beta users in India have even received the feature on their phones. According to a screenshot shared by WaBetaInfo, the feature will show up inside the WhatsApp Settings. You will be able to make quick bank to bank money transfers without any extra charges via this feature. WhatsApp Payments goes at the top of WhatsApp's most awaited feature list.
2. WhatsApp Group calls: Introducing group calls to WhatsApp's voice and video calls is going to be the second big feature from the app. WaBetaInfo reports that chat app is working to bring group calls to its voice and video calls. Currently, you can make voice or video calls to only contact at a time. This feature will allow you to add more people to voice calls just like the conference calls and Messenger-like group video calls.
3. Shake to report: Last year we saw several blackouts of WhatsApp. The chat app has finally realised the problem and is working on a Shake to report feature. The feature is yet to roll out.
4. Private replies: In future you will not have to leave a group chat to reply someone privately. The chat app is working on this feature. It will allow you to reply to someone privately in a group chat. However, the admin of the group will be able to see it.
5. Tap to unblock: Small but a significant feature-- Tap to unblock -- will allow you to unblock a blocked contact by simply tapping on it. The current process to unblock a contact requires you to go inside the contact and then tap on unblock option.
