Doha: WhatsApp messenger has introduced many new features in its new update. In its new version the user can format the text while sending a message. Only a few options are available right now, but lets hope this is a beginning.
The new options are:
- Format text in your messages by surrounding your text with special characters: *bold*, _italics_, or ~strikethrough~
- Reply to new messages right from notifications
- Tapping the quick camera button in a chat lets you pick a photo or video from your camera roll
- Pick from a set of solid colors for your chat wallpaper
- Quickly archive, delete, or mute multiple chats at once. Just tap and hold a chat in the chats tab and tap on other chats to select them.
Whats app has also launched the desktop app for Windows and Mac.
Like WhatsApp Web, desktop app is an extension of your phone: the app mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device.
