A new update on WhatsApp iPhone app will customise images, organise photos you send and receive, and improve messaging.
WhatsApp v2.17.30 for iPhone introduces photo filters, automatic albums, and a new reply shortcut as well.
Customised Images:
WhatsApp has added colour filters to the media that you send in chats. Go to the individual or group chat that you want to send the media to, capture or select a photo, video, or GIF, and swipe up. Swiping up will pull out five photo filters that you can choose from. These are Pop, B&W, Cool, Film, and Chrome, but we expect WhatsApp to add more in the future.
Photos Organsied:
Earlier, when you used to send multiple photos to a chat, it showed up in a series one below the other, often making you scroll a lot. Now, WhatsApp automatically groups multiple photos that you send or receive into a photo album to avoid wastage of chat space and scroll.
Quick Reply:
A new update enables you to reply an individual just by swiping right on a specific text in chats. This reply shortcut will be particularly useful in group chats where you speak to multiple users at once.
“When users send or receive a collection of five or more photos or videos, they will automatically be grouped together as an album, creating a tile display within messages. When users tap on the album, they will see the collection of photos and videos in full screen,” the company said in a statement.
These features have rolled out to iOS users only for now, and there’s no word on when Android users will receive it. The update has already arrived in the App Store and can be downloaded.
