As Whatsapp is one of the most popular messaging clients, users are always eager to hear about updates related to the app. Well, we have good news for them as developers have just released the latest beta version, which comes with some interesting new features.
The first new feature, perhaps the most interesting one, is the addition of a new font that works by adding these ``` grave accents at the beginning and end of a message. This new feature allows users to separate quotes from the rest of the text.
10 hidden WhatsApp features you didn't know existed
The new feature works on three platforms, i.e. iOS, Android and Web. Users will also be able to see a preview of how the font looks before they send the message, though for some reason it won’t do the same on Web.
This new font comes as an addition to the previous three messaging fonts and features released by developers earlier this year that are bold, italics, and st̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶.
Other features added to the app include the ‘record a voice message’ button that allows you to send a message directly, without having to go to each chat window.
Forget Instagram, you need to download this app now
The app will also give users an alert if it’s taking a while to download new messages. This feature will come in handy in places with poor signals or a slow internet connection.
The final version is expected to hit the AppStore and PlayStore soon.
