WhatsApp is working on a host of new features for quiet some time and may be it’s time to unveil them as many other mainstay apps are already providing these features to their users. One of the most discussed feature is the Dark Mode which is will be rolled out for both iOS and Android users the world over .These new features will be available for the social media users pretty soon.
The Dark Mode on WhatsApp will enable users to invert the colours and allow the app to get a system-wide dark theme. Reports are suggesting that Dark Mode is near perfect on Android devices and this feature is already in the works for iOS devices. This feature is said to be available through multiple options and users will get the option to automatically change the colour scheme depending on the system theme. The iOS version of Dark Mode for WhatsApp will boast a darker colour scheme, while Android handsets will feature a lighter version.
WhatsApp users will be able to access their accounts on two devices simultaneously as they are presently working on a feature called “Registration Notifications.” This will enable the user to get a notification about a secondary device login on an original device, a report by Hindustan Times states. The message will say, “The recipient’s device list changed. Tap Verify to confirm the new security code.” After the security code is verified, WhatsApp will be able to be used on multiple devices.
Another feature WhatsApp is working on adding to its picture-in-picture mode for third-party apps is that the users will be able to view Netflix trailers from within the app itself. The app will display a large video icon with a play button and this is similar to what WhatsApp does with YouTube.
WhatsApp has now extended fingerprint unlock to Android handsets also . WhatsApp also is capable of supporting Face ID unlocking feature for iPhones which is convenient for newer iPhone owners. Also, a noteworthy mention is that if the app is locked with a fingerprint, you will still be able to respond to video calls or audio calls easily.
