Like other Meta apps, WhatsApp is getting numerous updates lately . However, many users do not find out about them until they read them on social networks, media such as Androidphoria or through a friend.
This is not really serious, but it does show a certain lack of communication between the developers and the end users of the application. Meta wants to change that soon and for this reason it will provide WhatsApp with an official news chat as it happens in Telegram or Signal. What do we know about it?
The informative WhatsApp chat will notify about news, tricks and security tips
Although on some occasions they have notified certain news through the states, WhatsApp rarely says that new things bring their updates. This will cease to be the case shortly, because the application will begin to notify you of everything new through its official chatbot.
The information was filtered by WABetaInfo and it is a feature very similar to the one that Telegram or Signal have already had for a long time: every time you update the application, you will receive an official message from WhatsApp with the news that it includes. This will make it easier to adopt new features within WhatsApp, because users will learn about them faster.
At the moment it is a feature that is in the early stages of development, so you will not see it on your mobile yet. However, the leak offers some pretty good additional information about this feature. It turns out that this official chat will not only inform you about news, it will also teach you tricks to use these new features and offer some tips to improve your security and privacy.
WhatsApp’s informative chat will be read-only, so you won’t be able to send messages, but it will work as a mass notification system . Don’t want to receive automatic messages from this official WhatsApp chatbot? Don’t worry, you can always block the chat like with any other user and thus prevent messages from reaching you in the future.
Will it take too long for this new WhatsApp information channel to arrive? Probably not. However, while you wait, you can find out about other news that will soon come to this messaging app. Some of them: finally you can hide the “online”, there will be WhatsApp statuses based on audio and you can also react to them with emojis.
