Whatsapp is launching new features

WhatsApp keeps improving! After launching stickers earlier this year, WhatsApp is launching several new features. Find out more below.

Video Preview in Notification Bar

Some users have already used the video preview feature from inside the WhatsApp, however, now videos will also play in the notification bar. Which means you can see a shared video without the need to open WhatsApp. This was expected from quite some time as users can already see images and GIFs.

Group Call

Soon a group call option will be added in group chats. You can start a voice or video call in a group with upto 3 members.

Dark Mode

A feature which lots of fans have been clamouring for a while, WhatsApp will soon launch a dark mode that wil change the background to shades to black and grey. Dark mode is both uses less battery charge and is easier on eyes, making it useful for users who like to chat till late into the dark of night.

Contact Ranking

Soon, WhatsApp will rank your contact based on the frequency of your chats with the contact.
