This week WhatsApp has just released a new update for your popular instant messaging tool. This update is available for both Android as ios, (although it seems that Android has not yet been deployed on all devices) and in it we can find 3 new features.

Sending messages offline

From now on, WhatsApp users will be able to send messages without having to be connected to the internet. Until now, if we tried to send a message offline, it stayed in the state «connecting… ”And the shipment was impossible. Hereinafter the message can be sent, remaining in the queue and delivered to the recipient as soon as we recover our connection.

This functionality was already available on systems Android for a long time, but it is something that users of ios They will greatly appreciate it.

Simultaneous sending of more than 10 images

Those who update their version of WhatsApp will also be able to enjoy a higher limit of sending images in bulk. Until now, the tool only allowed up to 10 images to be sent at once. With the new update, the stop is raised to a maximum of 30 images.

This is one of the features that we were able to test in the latest beta of the application, and that has finally also been included in the official version of the app.

Improved space use management

The latest improvement added is aimed at optimizing the way WhatsApp allows us to manage the data we store in the app. In this new version WhatsApp it will allow us to see how much the multimedia files of each of the chats occupy and delete them accordingly. For example, we may only delete the videos from chat X, or photos from chat Y.

Until now we could only obtain a global calculation of what all the videos, photos, audio etc. occupied. Considering how much some backup copies of the application occupy, this increase in the filtering and management detail will allow us to better manage the space that the application occupies on our mobile phone.

GIFs are left out

One of the highlights included in the latest beta of the application it was the inclusion of a native GIF search engine, right next to the emoji menu. Finally it seems that we will have to wait a little longer to be able to enjoy this new functionality officially. In any case, if we don’t want to wait another minute, we just have to install the latest beta of WhatsApp to be able to pull GIFs as if there is no tomorrow.
