WhatsApp has announced new important functions by the company Facebook, everything being revealed last night during the F8 conference that the Americans organized in the USA to present a lot of news. According to those from Facebook, the WhatsApp application will first have new stickers implemented that can be used in conversations by users, these will offer new ways to interact with the people we talk to daily.
WhatsApp is not limited to new stickers, the Facebook company also announced that it will also integrate a function for video calls in the messaging application during 2018 for iPhone and Android phones. This function for video calls was initially discovered a few weeks ago in the beta application of WhatsApp for Android, so today's announcement is not a big surprise, but it is clear that the function will be available very soon.
WhatsApp: NEW IMPORTANT Functions Announced by Facebook
WhatsApp is going to offer the possibility of making group video calls with 3 other people, so we are talking about a functionality that Facebook Messenger has, but which other services do not yet have. The option to make video calls in groups of up to 4 people via WhatsApp is something that FaceTime, for example, does not offer, but which also exists in Skype, Tango, or other messaging applications, so it remains to be seen how good it will be quality in the end.
"Voice and video calling are very popular on WhatsApp, and we're excited to share that group calling will be coming in the months ahead. Stickers are also coming to WhatsApp soon."
WhatsApp also has over 450 million users who use the platform daily, just under half of the monthly total, with over 2 billion video and audio calls being made through the platform every day. WhatsApp is constantly growing, and the new functions announced by Facebook last night represent a big step forward made by the company, but we are not talking about anything revolutionary, or unavailable in competing applications.
