In November 2016, the app launched video calls and last month allowed users to send GIFs which had previously been stored in their photo libraries. But, now the leading instant messaging application WhatsApp for Android integrates the search field for GIFs, simply to send these files without leaving the application. According to the site Android Authority, the function is being activated gradually, starting with the beta version of the application. The search for GIFs from WhatsApp has already been active on iOS since November, and even a little earlier if the beta is counted. Before this update, WhatsApp users on Android only had the ability to send and receive GIFs, or send those stored in device memory as we mentioned earlier. This update avoids having to go to Chrome or any other web browser and tediously search for GIFs. The site Android Authority says that this function is gratitude to the integration of WhatsApp and Giphy, although in some regions Tenor which is also an image storage service is used. The report says that this version of WhatsApp also allows sending up to 30 files in a single transfer. This change will be well received by users since it previously only allowed to send up to 10 files in a single transfer. So, if you want to try then you can simply download the latest beta version of WhatsApp from the Google Play Store.

This does not mean that it is the best or the only one. There are very interesting alternatives such as Telegram, which is faster to implement new features, such as deleting sent messages or creator of GIFs. However, what weighs most is the number of people who use it, because a messaging app is useless if we cannot talk to who we want and in this aspect, WhatsApp is the undisputed leader. But there comes a feature that may not appeal to many users. If it is not enough to control the controversial double blue check, with which it is difficult to lie by saying “I have not read” or “yes I read.” But, hold on now even if anyone wants to lie or say that “I’m on the way” then beware, as, with the next update, WhatsApp will also share our location with our contacts. The new feature – which they call “Live Location” will simply use the GPS positioning of the smartphone to say where we are to our contacts in real time. But calm, because it will be optional and will only work in group chats.
— WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) January 26, 2017 According to the tech media Engadget, WhatsApp may well inform about our exact location over a period of time marked. We may limit this “Sneak Mode” to the minutes you want and remains disabled by default. This tracking function is being tested by the company in the beta versions of the application, both Android and iOS. There is still no date set for the final version, but when it does, WhatsApp will allow you to sneak like this. So, what do you think about this feature?
