From new calling updates to payments, what new features have come up in WhatsApp
Instant messaging app WhatsApp has added many new features in the last few days. The company has come up with carts, from better dark modes and new sticker packs. The cart feature has now made it even easier for users to shop through WhatsApp or order goods. Here we are going to tell you what new features are going to be added to this messaging app in the coming days and what changes have taken this week.
Video and voice calling on laptops too
WhatsApp is soon going to bring voice and video calling features on desktops and laptops. For this, the company has also started testing in beta mode. Let’s say that users can avail voice and video calling only through the mobile app. As the report says, WhatsApp will pop up a separate window of call on the web, through which you will be able to make calls, reject or ignore calls.
Increased scope of payments
The company has launched the WhatsApp Pay feature for all users last month, through which money can also be transacted through WhatsApp. This week, the company reported that WhatsApp has entered into a partnership with State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank for payment service. That means users will be able to use the accounts of these banks for payment on WhatsApp.
WhatsApp will stop working on these phones
From the new year, smartphones with operating systems older than Android 4.3 and iOS 9 will stop running WhatsApp. WhatsApp stops supporting outdated iOS and Android smartphones every year. Customers who are using the old operating system need to upgrade their phone. Let’s say WhatsApp has more than 2 billion users worldwide.
