WhatsApp brought some of the most useful features in 2018; check them out here

Facebook-owned messaging app WhatsApp has upgraded the app with various features this year. Let's check some of the latest updates that WhatsApp added to its kitty for a smoother experience for its users.

WhatsApp Group Calling
WhatsApp had recently rolled out the group calling facility for its users and also introduced the same to keep pace with the Google Duo or Skype in terms of video calling. This allows four users to connect in a conference video call at once. However, this feature is still limited for the app's beta version and expected to be available for its overall users.

Dismiss as Admin
If any group admin wants to dismiss any other admin from its position, he/ she can simply do that by tapping a ‘Dismiss as admin’ which is placed in the Group Info menu.

Download Deleted Media Files
WhatsApp now allows its users to retrieve deleted media files. A user can download the deleted files from the servers where the app will save them for a longer time.

In-App Facebook and Instagram videos
With this update, the Facebook and Instagram video links will not open in any separate window. Now, the users can open those videos on the chat screen and play them there.

Suspicious Link Detection
WhatsApp has rolled out a suspicious link detection feature in its beta version 2.18.221. This feature checks for unusual characters in any website and the user is notified and warned with red colour if he/ she tries to open the same.

Labelling Forward Messages
With this new feature a user will be able to identify forwarded messages from the original ones. Any forwarded message will be labelled and the user can easily identify that.
