WhatsApp, the social platform used every day by billions of users, è more far from having a perfect mobile application.
In this article we dream for a few minutes with a perfect WhatsApp to tell you what are the functions I should add to the soon to arrive at 10 out of 10.
Although there are several features that WhatsApp will add before the end of the year, the ones mentioned below they are not yet among them.
Let's not get involved anymore, let's talk about 7 features that WhatsApp should add soon to be perfect and fight against rivals against Telegram.
These are the features that WhatsApp should add to be perfect.
Secret chats
It is imperative that WhatsApp add the ability to as soon as possible chat in private chats whose messages disappear over the time.
This is the case of the secret chats of Telegram, a type of conversation in which messages cannot be forwarded, they disappear when X time passes, they are not stored on servers platform and it is not possible to take screenshots.
Without any doubt, WhatsApp should offer this tool to users so that they can have it extremely private conversations.
Head of WhatsApp, if you are reading us, we invite you to "imitate" this Telegram function as soon as possible to be able to converse without fear of being read.
Editing of sent messages
Another function that we ask of WhatsApp is the one that allows edit sent messages, also present in rivals such as Telegram.
If editing messages were available in WhatsApp, the users should not delete a misspelled message to write it and resend it.
At the moment, it appears that the messaging service do not consider this option, so we can only keep losing it when we use the app.
Blur faces in images
On this occasion, let's look at Signal, considered one of the most secure and private messaging platforms today.
In 2018 we already commented that WhatsApp and Telegram should copy a feature - notify when they take a screenshot - and now we follow the same line.
Specifically, in this case we want to talk about a Signal tool that blurs all faces in an image to maintain the privacy of the people who appear there.
Before submitting an image, you just have to activate the "Fade faces" option for Signal to do its job. This way you can share photos without fear of compromising the privacy of other people you may not even know.
This is a very useful tool which, of course, we would like to see you on WhatsApp very soon.
Signal has a feature to blur faces that appear in a photo.
Schedule your messages to be sent
In WhatsApp you only have the ability to send messages, audio, images or videos at the current time, not after. Therefore, we think it would be interesting if the application had a specific function to schedule the sending of messages.
If WhatsApp managers propose it, they should just observe how the scheduling of messages on Telegram works, its most direct rival.
They could then integrate a message scheduling tool in which the user decides the day, hour and minute in which the content is sent to the recipient, thus also being able to create reminders.
Reactions to messages
Reaction to messages is a simple tool, perhaps unimportant, but it can be of some use if integrated into WhatsApp.
In this case, let's imagine a function that allows you to react quickly to a message by clicking once on it and choosing from a variety of emojis, such as the heart or the thumb up.
Therefore, you would save time by not having to scroll through a message to reply and search for the emoji in the WhatsApp icon catalog.
Plus, we all know Facebook's reactions, so Mark Zuckerberg's company should just copy your idea and transfer it to WhatsApp.
In a perfect WhatsApp, let's imagine the integration of reactions to messages.
Customization of the app interface
We know that WhatsApp works on new functions, like the one to free up space in the app, but what about the customization of the interface?
If we take a look at the rival platform, Telegram, we see what it has numerous themes to choose from to change the look of the application and you can even create your own themes for Telegram.
In addition to being able to choose between dark mode, light mode and change the background of conversations, the customization options in WhatsApp they are scarce.
Therefore, we should request more personalization features from a perfect WhatsApp for adapt the application interface to our tastes.
Using multiple accounts at the same time
WhatsApp is finalizing the arrival of a function to use the same account on up to four different devices, but has yet to comment on another common request from users: to be able use more than one account on the same mobile phone.
Some smartphone brands allow you to have two WhatsApp accounts on the same phone, but it is not a native function of the communication platform. Furthermore, depends on the terminal model what do you have.
Using two WhatsApp accounts on the same mobile phone is particularly useful for those with an account for work environment and another for the staff.
While the company does not appear to be considering introducing this feature at the moment, we are confident it will be available in the not too distant future.
And so far the 7 functions that we would add to WhatsApp to make it perfect. In your opinion what is missing from the communication platform? Are you also missing some of the features we talked about?
