WhatsApp is gradually introducing new features . There has been talk for days about the possibility that the main instant messaging application would bring some changes in the next update. However, it seems that Mark Zuckerberg, owner of the “app” and creator of Facebook, has decided to introduce the new features gradually.

Only users with version 2.16.7 of WhatsApp for iOS can enjoy the latest three novelties at the moment, which have to do with emoticons , video zoom  and chat . If you have an iphone, you need to update to use the new features . If you use WhatsApp on Android instead, you will have to wait a few more days. If you want to stay updated on this news, click “like” on the official facebook page of MessaggiMania .

Here are the news of WhatsApp in detail

1. Bigger emoticons

It was already known that WhatsApp wanted to enlarge the “Emoji” in chats. Now here we are, we can welcome the XXL size emoticons . However, the ability to send and receive giant emoticons is reserved for sending single symbols only, for both individual and group chats. If you send more than one emoticon, it will be as usual.

2. Video recording with zoom

The application allows you to share videos and photos directly from the chat, both individual and group. Now, with the update, WhatsApp allows you to zoom in on the video we want to record.

To do this, you need to hold down the button for a long time (if you make a single click, you take a picture). When we want to zoom in, just slide your finger up on the screen.

3. Archive or delete chats

Android users already have this option, but it wasn’t there on iOS. Now, anyone who wants to can delete or archive multiple chats at the same time , more easily. Just open the application and press the “Edit” button, select the chats and click on the action you want: “Archive” or “Delete” (at the bottom of the screen).

And what about video calling ? At the moment, there is no trace. This is the most desired option and which, in principle, we should be able to announce to you within the year. 

Over the past few months, WhatsApp has been carrying out numerous changes. Recently it has been introduced the possibility of writing in bold, italics and strikethrough , in order to make the messages more beautiful; moreover, a few months ago, the function to send documents has arrived , which seems to have found the approval of users.
