Ever since WhatsApp has been criticized for new terms of use, the developers of the messenger have been trying hard to keep their users. The aim is to stop the migration to Signal and Co. with new functions, improvements to the design and the following detail.
Despite massive criticism, WhatsApp is the most widely used messenger in this country. Just recently , a survey showed that Germans trust WhatsApp and Facebook more than Signal or Telegram when it comes to data protection. But this is also likely to be due to the level of awareness. But whether one way or another: WhatsApp is doing a lot to ensure that users don’t turn their backs on Messenger. WhatsApp users will soon have a function with which they can make pictures and videos disappear. And this is how it works . In addition, the developers are changing another detail.
WHATSAPP SHOWS HOW LOUD IT GETS
In addition to sending text messages, pictures and videos, voice messages are also becoming increasingly popular. The developers also know this and have recently integrated a function that allows users to play voice messages faster. This saves a lot of time, especially with longer recordings and slow speakers. Now WhatsApp also wants to show how loud the message to be listened to is before you listen to it.
With a waveform, as it is known from audio editing programs, you can see at a glance the volume of the voice message. High waves indicate loud noises, while low deflections indicate soft sounds. With this small detail, WhatsApp makes something visible that the user could not see before listening to the message.
THE MARKET LEADER IS LAGGING BEHIND
This function is still under development and is only available to beta testers. However, the experts at the well-informed blog Wabetainfo assume that the feature will soon be available to all users of Android smartphones, iPhones and WhatsApp Web . By the way: Those who use Telegram or Signal are already familiar with this waveform. Both alternative messengers are one step ahead of WhatsApp. If you want to switch from Germany’s most popular messenger to Telegram, it has never been so easy .
