WhatsApp has received a fresh update, and the app is now better than ever. The brand has updated the app three times to make it more useful and easy. WhatsApp has become increasingly popular in many countries, including Pakistan, thus the latest updates are very welcome.
There are now updates for images, audio status, and contacting oneself, which were previously unavailable but were highly requested by users all over the world. Now, the brand has listened and has given what its users have been asking for a long time.
High-Quality Photo Sharing
WhatsApp supports high-quality photo sharing, which allows users to send and receive photos with higher resolution and better quality than traditional text messaging.
The app automatically compresses photos to reduce file size, but users can also choose to send the original, high-resolution version of the photo if they want. Additionally, WhatsApp has also added a feature called “Document Sharing” which allows users to share documents, PDFs, and other types of files with each other.
Voice Status
WhatsApp has a feature called “Voice status” that allows users to record and share short audio messages with their contacts. These audio messages, also called “voice notes” or “voice statuses”, can be up to 15 seconds long.
To record a voice status, the user needs to press and hold the microphone icon in the chat interface, speak their message, and then release the icon to send it. The voice status feature can be used for sending quick voice messages, or for recording and sharing thoughts, reminders, or messages when it’s more convenient than typing. The feature is available on both Android and IOS platforms.
Message Yourself on WhatsApp
Yes, it is possible to send a message to yourself on WhatsApp. You can do this by creating a new group, and adding your own phone number as a participant in the group. Once you have created the group, you can send messages to yourself just as you would to any other group member.
Alternatively, you can also add your number as a contact in your phone, and then send a message to yourself as if it were a normal message to a contact. Please note that in both cases, you need to have an active internet connection to send and receive messages, and also you need to have a WhatsApp account.
