October 3, 2021 09:17 AM
WhatsApp still has many surprises for its users; here is a list of all the new features that are waiting for you.
1 = Multi device on two phones
WhatsApp recently introduced a new feature, multi-device. Very practical, it allows Windows and macOS developer customers to do without our smartphone. It is no longer necessary to keep the latter on hand until the link is established.
Namely, WhatsApp is currently testing a function to extend the multi-device to a second smartphone. It will then be possible to find their exchange, discussions or even media on two phones connected to the same account.
2 = Icon editor
This feature must first be deployed on iOS. When this is the case, it will be possible to change the discussion avatar, but also to change the colour of its background.
WhatsApp will not stick to traditional images, and users should also be able to rely on stickers to personalize their conversations.
3 = Transcription function to sing
What could be worse than receiving a sequence of four or five vocals while working or even racing?
Not much, which is why WhatsApp developers are working on the clone feature. It will no longer be necessary to listen to the sounds to know which message has been delivered. Even better, thanks to the time code function, you can even go back to a certain point in the exchange.
4 = Encrypt backups
This feature may not directly change your life, but it is supposed to help improve it.
You probably know this, but WhatsApp allows users to back up their conversations to the cloud, whether through Google Drive or iCloud.
Well the app goes thus being able to encrypt these backups to protect them from prying eyes.
5 = New privacy option
WhatsApp for a while introduced a dedicated data privacy list, a list in which a user can accurately determine who has the right to access some of their data.

A new option will be released soon. An option that this time will be associated with “last visit” information. And again, it will be possible to precisely adjust who can be consulted.
