WhatsApp is working on a number of new features to improve its users’ overall chat experience. Message replies is one of them, and it’ll be available later this year.
Users will also be able to create polls in groups, according to the company. Users may be able to send large files up to 2GB in size in the near future. WaBetaInfo has found a new function in the Android and iOS beta versions. WhatsApp is rolling out a new ETA feature to improve your document sharing experience.
As per the screenshots shared by WaBetaInfo, WhatsApp will now show you the estimated time of when the file or document will get downloaded or uploaded. This is a great feature as you can simply send a bunch of files, then see how much time it will take for the app to upload them, which will save a lot of time and one will be able to work on something else instead of just waiting for the completion of the process.
This feature will be useful when you are sharing big files or documents or videos with your friends and family members. The feature is currently only available for those who are using iOS, Android, and desktop beta version of WhatsApp. People who have signed up for the app’s beta program will immediately notice the change as the platform has already started releasing this feature.
Apart from this, WhatsApp is also working on one of the most important features and that is a 2GB file sharing limit. This is a much-needed feature as other platforms like Telegram already offer this to users. WhatsApp is one of the most widely used apps in India and it is not just used for messaging, but also for exchanging photos, videos as well as files.
The new file-sharing limit feature is still in the testing phase and it is currently unknown as to when this will be released. The current file sharing limit is up to 100MB.
Aside from that, the messaging platform is working on a feature that will allow you to determine the quality of photos you submit. Users will have three choices in the app: Auto, Best quality, and Data Saver. Each one is self-explanatory. This will be yet another important feature that WhatsApp intends to provide to its users. Only the beta version is available for testing right now.
In case you didn’t know, when you share a file with someone, WhatsApp compresses it automatically. The image and video quality degrades as a result.
