WhatsApp is constantly rolling out new features to improve its user experience. Entering the fourth half of 2021, WhatsApp has officially launched several new features. Apart from a few potential new features that are reportedly still in development or being tested with a handful of beta users, at least, there are four new WhatsApp features that have been officially publicly available so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s the list, based on a written statement from WhatsApp<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Edit photos on WhatsApp Web and Desktop<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WhatsApp has finally rolled out a feature for photo\/image editing, specifically for WhatsApp web and desktop users. With this new feature, WhatsApp web and desktop users can crop, to add scribbles or writing on the image, before sending it to the intended person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Previously, users could only include captions and emojis if they wanted to send photos via WhatsApp web or desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As in the mobile version of WhatsApp, the photo editing feature on WhatsApp web and desktop can also be used to add text, emoji, stickers, and doodle images. The trick is simply to use the editing toolbar that appears at the bottom of the image before it is submitted by the user. When adding text, users are provided with five font options (Sans Serif, Serif, Norican, Brydan Write, Oswald) and three text layout options (align left, center, and right). Text color can be changed at will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On WhatsApp desktop and web, users can also include a colored background for text. This text background will later adjust to the font color selected by the user. That way, the text can look more striking. The text background feature is not found on the mobile version of WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Preview link<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the name implies, this feature is useful for making it easier for message recipients if they receive a link from a friend. For example, if your friend sends you a link containing a tweet from social media Twitter or an article from the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before opening the link, a thumbnail image will appear<\/p>\n\n\n\n
shows a bit of an idea of \u200bwhat the content of the sent link contains. If you feel convincing, you can directly click the link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Sticker suggestions for easy search<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usually, to use stickers on WhatsApp, users must first open the stickers tab to find the desired sticker. This is certainly quite inconvenient, especially if the user is in a hurry. Fortunately, now WhatsApp has a feature that makes it easier for users to find accurate stickers more easily and quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trick is to type a word that expresses the sticker itself. For example, if you want to send an emoji with a laughing expression, you just need to type the word “laugh” or “haha” in the chat field. Later, a square emoji icon will appear on the left side. Click the icon to open the sticker page on the keyboard menu in the WhatsApp application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Collections for WhatsApp Business<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the three features above, WhatsApp Business users also have a new feature, namely Collection. Through the Collections feature, customers can now see the products on display by shop owners via their WhatsApp Business profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Business owners can also organize the products in their catalog by category. That way, customers don’t have to browse through the list of products on display to find the product they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, here is how to create and manage Collections in a catalog,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. First, open the WhatsApp Business application via your smartphone.
2. Then, click “More”.
3. Above “Chat List”, click “Catalog”, then select “Add New Collection”.
4. Enter the name of the collection you want.
5. Next, select which catalog items you want to include in this collection.
6. If you have, click “Finish” to save it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
