WhatsApp rolls out updates for Web: Know the 3 new features here

WhatsApp latest update: In good news, the Facebook-owned popular instant messaging application, WhatsApp recently announced that it has added three new features to the web version of the platform. According to the messaging application, users can now edit photos on the web version too and preview links as well. It is also adding a new sticker suggestion feature.

The messaging platform took to micro-blogging platform Twitter and wrote: "We’ve made some updates to the way you chat. Desktop photo editor - Now you can add stickers and text or crop and rotate your photos from any WhatsApp screen, big or small. Sticker suggestions - Find the perfect sticker as you type, it’s just like emoji suggestions but better and Preview links - Now you’ll know what you’re clicking into. Share news, videos, or that fun Tweet, sneak peek included."

Users will now get sticker suggestions when they type a message, which will allow them to find the right sticker for their conversations. Those who use a sticker during a conversation normally have to go through multiple tabs to find the right sticker, which disrupts the flow. Sometimes one can’t find the sticker easily. The new update will solve this problem.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp released its September monthly report under the Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code Rules, 2021. As per the reports, over 2 million WhatsApp accounts have been banned in India between September 1 and September 20, 2021.

“We are particularly focused on prevention because we believe it is much better to stop harmful activity from happening in the first place than to detect it after harm has occurred,” the report stated.

“The abuse detection operates at three stages of an account’s lifestyle: at registration, during messaging, and in response to negative feedback, which we receive in the form of user reports and blocks," the messaging application further added.
