Rain of news on WhatsApp: you will like one if you use the groups

Rain of news on WhatsApp

In recent times, Meta is putting the batteries with WhatsApp , which was running quite poor in features compared to competitors such as Telegram. Thanks to the new version of its beta, we can anticipate several of these new features that will soon be available to all users.

WhatsApp beta users are already testing a couple of great new features for the messaging application, one being especially relevant for those who are group administrators and the other more focused on WhatsApp States.

Admins will delete messages

One of the main focuses that WhatsApp is having in recent times is to give greater power of moderation to the administrators of the groups, which they are for a reason.

Beyond adding or removing participants, there was little the group administrators could do about the messages that were subsequently shared. WhatsApp beta users are already testing a new functionality that will allow the administrator of a group to directly delete a message from a participant , whatever the reason they want to do so.

This function was previously activated for a small group of users of the trial version of the program, but the number of testers has increased, and it even appears in some stable versions of the application , which would give an idea that its general arrival is coming soon and that group admins in non-beta versions can also delete messages for everyone.

With this functionality, the admin will be able to long press a message and a “ delete for everyone ” text will appear, which will make the message disappear. The only possible drawback, as the warning about the use of this feature says, is that the rest of the participants will see a trace that a message was deleted by an administrator, so they might want to know what it said or the reason why it was deleted. erased

New WhatsApp States

Meta is also reviewing the way in which States are presented , to try to achieve the same success as Instagram Stories.

To try to make things easier for those who want to consult the status of their contacts, as we anticipated a few weeks ago, a new way of quickly accessing these publications that last 24 hours will be added.

It will no longer be necessary to access the main menu tab dedicated to this feature, but there will be an indicator within the chat list that will mark which of your contacts has a new Status.

If you don’t like seeing them within the chat list or don’t even use Status updates, you can mute Status updates from the status tab so they no longer appear in the chat list.

As in the previous case, the test of the function is being extended, so we could soon have them for all users.
