The New Features Of WhatsApp On iOS Devices ( Coming Soon To Android )

The latest iOS version of  WhatsApp now adds camera filters,  photo albums, and a new quick reply feature that allows users to respond to messages in a thread. With it's new features, WhatsApp now makes it easier to organize photos, customize images, and handle messages.


Introducing WhatsApp Albums


Upon sending or receiving multiple photos or videos (more than four) in WhatsApp for iOS, the new app version will automatically bundle them together as an album. If there are multiple images, they will appear with a plus sign that allows users to view all media. Tapping on the album will display all items.

Introducing Whatsapp Filters

With the latest update, WhatsApp users on iOS can also add filters to their photos, videos, or GIFs. Users who take a new photo or video, or simply choose to upload some media stored on their device, will have five filter options: black and white, pop, chrome, cool, and film.

Introducing WhatsApp Quick Reply

The new update also introduces a new reply shortcut feature that allows users to quickly reply to messages. To do so, just swipe right on any message in a thread and start typing the reply, which will appear at the bottom of the chat window. This makes things easier, faster, and more convenient, although it’s not a major new feature. It should prove particularly valuable in group chats with a lot of messages, where a message or a question might get drowned in other messages before it receives a reply.

The new features are currently available only for the iOS version of  WhatsApp, but we Android users should get the same later on. No details are available yet,  however,  regarding when the Android version of WhatsApp will get the update.

Whatsapp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, although it’s got some heavy competition and there’s no shortage of messaging apps on the market. The new photo-related features could help the app gain more traction with youngsters, as photos are becoming an increasingly important part of today’s conversations. The photo albums could be useful to all users, but the new filters seem particularly targeted at younger users hooked on the trend to spice up their photos and videos.

The latest iOS update brings WhatsApp closer to Instagram. Both WhatsApp and Instagram are under Facebook’s umbrella.
