Whatsapp continues to work to offer its users a better experience. In recent months, the platform has introduced new tools, such as the creation of its own stickers or a button to speed up message forwarding. All this with the aim of satisfying their more than 2 billion users active around the world.
In addition, WhatsApp has new functions in the development phase that will completely change its drivability and accessibility. This is the case of an option that will allow queries through artificial intelligence within the application’s search bar. It also has a function in beta phase that will give the option to change the color of the interface, including the background of conversations, buttons and other visual elements.
The three new features of WhatsApp
But speaking of current events, Whatsapp has announced through its official blog that it has added three important new features that will completely change the user experience, especially with regard to the Audio and the video calls. In this sense, the first of the new features, already introduced in a previous version for Mac, will allow increasing the maximum number of participants who will be able to join the same video call.
Therefore, they will now be 32 people that they will be able to interact at the same time, regardless of the type of platform they are on. Until now, this number was only available on mobile phones.
Share screen while you talk
The other great novelty that Whatsapp has introduced is the choice of screen sharing with audio, which will make the video call option of the application is more complete in areas such as work or academics. To share the screen, an icon will appear that shows a mobile phone with an arrow. When you press it, the system will first ask for permission to record the screen, but once accepted, the screen is shared with the rest of the people.
However, and for now, when the screen is projected, the rest of the people they will stop seeing the camera. But whoever shares will still be able to see the faces of the other participants.
Know who the protagonist is
Finally, the latest innovation launched by WhatsApp will allow you to know who has the floor during a video call. Until now, and especially in those where there were many people, it was very difficult to differentiate the person who was speaking. Now, the app has enabled an option to make it stand out when speakerso your image will be displayed in the foreground.
