WhatsApp adds host of features for users

WhatsApp, used by over 1.5 billion users globally, adds a host of new features on a weekly basis.  The company is all set to roll out new features to its Android and iOS apps soon. The list includes multi-platform support, WhatsApp QR Code, Hide Muted Status Updates and more. 

Facebook recently released an update for its beta users that adds the “WhatsApp from Facebook” label to the app. “We want to be clearer about the products and services that are part of Facebook,” a spokesperson said. One can check the label in WhatsApp’s Settings section. 

The company recently added a ‘frequently forwarded’ feature, in addition to the ‘fingerprint lock’ feature in the privacy section and ‘consecutive voice messages’ feature to the app.
