Some cool, some great.
In case you didn’t realise, there’s a new WhatsApp update sitting in your App Store or Google Play App Store.
We downloaded it today and there are some pretty nifty new features on the update.
Here’s a rundown on all the news features:
- You can now have a group with up to 256 people. Why? Not a clue, but you can.
- You can send .pdf files or other documents. Handy for work.
- You can zoom in while a video is playing by pinching the screen. It worked well when we tried it (iPhone only).
- There’s a shared link history option which keeps track of all the links you send in a conversation.
- You can now have starred messages which will be saved even if you delete a chat.
- You can set the chat background to a solid colour.
- You can share photos or videos from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive directly to WhatsApp.
Enjoy the new features.
