WhatsApp has released version 2.17.81 of its software for iOS, the operating system which powers iPhones and iPads. Metro News online revealed that the App might be more rude as the version allows your friends ignore your messages more often.
This introduces a new feature which will let you watch YouTube videos right inside the app and keep viewing the same clip while swapping from chat to chat.
WhatsApp described the update by saying ‘When you receive a link to a YouTube video, you can now play it right within WhatsApp. With picture-in-picture, you can also keep watching the video while you navigate to another chat.
Which is great if you want to immediately watch a vid someone’s sent to you, but not so hot if you want meaningful conversations and the guarantee that you’re actually being listened to.
Luckily, there’s also a new way of hurling abuse at your neglectful mates, because you can now produce voice messages in a brand new way which makes it easier to rant and rave at length.
WhatsApp further added that, ‘Want to easily record long Voice Messages? ‘When recording a Voice Message, just swipe up to lock recording so you can continue to record without keeping your finger down.’
So sad this is only applicable to iOS users for now.
