It’s been a few months since WhatsApp started working on a new Reactions feature. Now, a report shows that the app is sill making improvements to this function as it plans to launch it sometime in the future. As spotted by WABetainfo, Reactions will be available “in individual chat threads and group chats.” The publication also states that everyone can see who reacted to a message simply by viewing the reaction info tab. In the screenshot, it’s possible to see all reactions to a message in two different tabs: “All” and also with the specific emoji used, which means users can click on the figure to see everyone in a group chat that reacted to a message. WABetaInfo notes that users will be able to “react to a specific message once and reactions are limited to six emojis. Currently, the figures available are “Like,” “Love,” “Laugh,” “Suprised,” “Sad,” and “Thanks.” As of now, it’s unclear whether WhatsApp will make any emoji available as a reaction, as Facebook now does with Instagram or if it’s going to be more limited the way Twitter is also working with reactions. As for a release date, WABetaInfo says that this feature is still under development…

Using it, users can forward the image to other contacts by selecting whom do they wish to send the image. Such a feature will allow users to save their time and quickly forward an image to another user.

WhatsApp has updated its privacy policy for its European users after being given a record €225m GDPR fine. On 22 November the messaging platform confirmed the policy will not change their service or how it handles user data but will provide more details about how users' personal information is passed to its parent company Meta, which also owns Instagram and Facebook. This clarification will only appear on its European version of the privacy policies and does not require users to agree or take action. The privacy policy update came after "a lengthy and comprehensive investigation" by the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) and a binding decision from the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) on 28 July that the DPC reassess the case and increase WhatsApp's proposed fine for not being "transparent about sharing data with their parent company". Subsequently, DPC imposed its largest ever GDPR fine on the Meta company and the second-highest under EU GDPR rules after Amazon was fined $886.6m by Luxembourg's National Commission for Data Protection earlier this year. The DPC also imposed "a reprimand" along with the fine ordering WhatsApp to "bring its processing into compliance by taking a range of specified remedial actions" for the GDPR breach.…

New Delhi: WhatsApp appears to be iterating on its rumoured Instagram-like message replies feature. The feature has previously been noticed, and rumours about it have circulated for several months. The functionality, which is currently available on WhatsApp's sister platforms Messenger and Instagram, allows users to use emoticons to respond to individual messages in a discussion. A new response information tab has been discovered, and it is claimed to be in the works right now. Users will be able to check who reacted to the message using this reaction information tab. WhatsApp message reactions According to rumours, the message reactions function would be available in both solo and group chats. WhatsApp, like Messenger and Instagram, is going to allow users to respond with several emoticons. According to WABetaInfo, the functionality could be included in future updates, though it is currently in development and has not yet been deployed to Beta versions. We believe that, for the time being, the reactions to a message will appear below the message, and that clicking on it will open the reaction info tab, where users will be able to see who has reacted to the message.

APP Su WhatsApp Web spunta dal nulla un nuovo editor per gli adesivi: è facile da usare e anche abbastanza potente, anche se ha ancora qualche limite 25 Novembre 2021 Senza un annuncio ufficiale e senza neanche un minimo di clamore, WhatsApp introduce una novità che farà piacere agli amanti degli sticker, dei meme e dei “Buongiornissimo, caffè!!!“: ora possiamo crearli da soli, con un vero e proprio mini editor integrato in WhatsApp. Anzi, per essere più precisi: in WhatsApp Web, la versione per browser della piattaforma di messaggistica. La nuova funzione, infatti, non è disponibile sulle app per Android e iOS, né sulle app di WhatsApp Desktop (nemmeno sulla recentissima app UWP), ma solo su WhatsApp Web. Tra l’altro, sembrerebbe che i primi a riceverla siano stati gli utenti che hanno aderito alla beta di WhatsApp Web multidispositivo. Forse Meta ha fatto questa scelta proprio per invogliare gli utenti ad usare WhastApp Web multi device, o forse è solo questione di tempo e l’editor di sticker arriverà anche sulle app mobile. Fatto sta che l’editor c’è, funziona bene ed è anche molto facile da usare. E questo vuol dire che tra poco saremo letteralmente invasi di adesivi all’interno delle…

Reported By:| Edited By: DNA Web Team |Source: DNA webdesk |Updated: Nov 24, 2021, 05:36 PM ISTWith the rise in spyware like Pegasus that can reportedly even infiltrate end-to-end encrypted WhatsApp chats, people feel more threatened and concerned about the data they share online. Some people opt to download less secure and modded apps as an alternative to the original application. This could lead the users to become victims of cybercrime. WhatsApp is a widely used encrypted chatting service in India and around the world. Despite its widespread use, the official app excludes many of the functions and personalization that are available on other platforms. Consequently, several third-party coders have created their unique modified versions of WhatsApp that include capabilities that are not available in the stock app. WhatsApp Delta by Deltalabs Studio is one such customized app.  Modded WhatsApps WhatsApp Delta and GBWhatsApp aren’t accessible on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Both app stores make it illegal to release and install modified apps. However, the Google Play Store app may have altered apps existing on it sometimes. APK files for Android devices can be found on a variety of weblinks. Many of these sites will display the app…
