A few days ago we told you that WhatsApp was planning to launch a new feature that allowed you to mention and tag different users within WhatsApp statuses, in the purest style of Instagram Stories. Since then there has been little expectation about the next steps of the messaging service until today. A few hours ago A new update has been released Among which are some interesting new features such as A new widget for the home screen or the option of use different zoom (finally!) when using the Camera. We tell you everything below.
A new WhatsApp update with interesting features
The novelty therefore lies in the new WhatsApp update and it is about the version 24.21.81, is now available for installation from the App Store. This time, there has been no post published on the official blog of the messaging service, but rather new features that have been seen as soon as the update has been installed on the devices.
This new version includes a new widget for the home screen which allows the user to have direct access to different sections of WhatsApp: recent, favorites, pinned or contacted. By clicking on it, the user will quickly access the chosen location and the preferred chats.
In addition, WhatsApp has also included in this version the ability to mention other users in statuses as well as the option of use 0.5x to 3x zoom with the camera, something that until now could not be done and that has been a request from many users for several years.
Remember that even if you have this new version installed, WhatsApp will gradually include all these new features. In a couple of days, all users will have all these new features... until then, just wait.
