The new version of WhatsApp; messaging system acquired by Facebook; brings news for all tastes and here we tell you about it.
Unread Conversations
Perhaps the most controversial functionality of this batch.
Now you can mark read conversations as unread. To do this, you must press and hold the conversation line with the user and a drop-down menu will appear with the option "mark as unread" as shown in the image.
I imagine that if before there were problems with the famous tilde azul, now much more.
Integrative icons
By using any icon related to faces and hands, you can change its skin color.
According to WhatsApp, it was designed to make it less racist. Was it?
To select the type of skin you must hold down the icon and the variety of colors available for that icon will be displayed, all you have to do is choose the one you want to use. A greater variety of icons have also been added, among them several new faces that don't say much and the famous "fuck you" (extended index finger) stand out
Silence annoying
If any contact becomes annoying at inappropriate times, you can silence them as they do in groups and for a while you will not hear from them.
To achieve this you must go to the "contact" profile and select the "Mute" option among the pop-up options, you can choose 8 hours, 1 week and 1 year. This last one is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?
Reduce data consumption
This option allows you to reduce the amount of data used during calls (reduces the quality of voice communications).
This will help save data and battery. To activate it, go to "settings", "chats and calls" and then in "Call settings" check the option "Decrease data usage".
We have to see what happens with this functionality in countries where connectivity is not excellent or at least not stable, I have my doubts if the application will work optimally
