So, here is a list of new features that WhatsApp is possibly planning to introduce in the future.
Dark mode
The company has started testing the new dark mode in WhatsApp. It was rumoured for a long time and now it’s finally going to be tested. This mode isn’t released and is unavailable on the WhatsApp beta. We have personally seen the shared screenshots of the WhatsApp dark mode. It has a dark grey background where the icons and the headings of the chat are visible in green colour. The sub texts and chat text is visible in white colour.
Fingerprint authentication
Now, it is good news for privacy concerning users. Nowadays, fingerprint authentication in common in every smartphone and as the name suggests, biometric authentication will soon be in work in WhatsApp. Fingerprint feature will be introduced soon in the future update. To activate this feature, you don’t need to run here and there. You just need to simply go in Settings, from there go to Account in which you will find privacy. You can find this option in Privacy. Fingerprint feature will automatically lock the WhatsApp after 1 minute, 10minutes, 30 minutes or immediately after not being used.
Consecutive voice messages
In this feature users can play uninterrupted audio messages on WhatsApp. If a user receives numerous audio messages on WhatsApp, it will play consecutively. Earlier, users had to press play button for every individual audio message but now this feature will itself remove any need of pressing play button and will play continuously all the audio messages automatically. This update is already available in the beta version of the app.
Picture-in-Picture (PiP) background play
The Picture-in-Picture feature allows the user to access several apps over whatsapp. For example, user would be able to view YouTube or Instagram videos within WhatsApp. If the user exits the chat then he will no longer be able to view the video and will have to return back to the chat to open the video. Now, WhatsApp is working on this feature and is modifying it to the extent so that users can access to these videos even after the chat is closed.
