WhatsApp works on a novelty that will allow you to search for premises near your position , something similar to as if you were to search for it through Google Maps, but this will be possible in the version of WhatsApp for iOS and also for Android, although at the moment there is no date arrival officer.
This functionality will appear as a differentiated section when the user goes to perform a search within WhatsApp , so that they will find a section to filter results by type of nearby businesses when searching in the application.
In fact, according to a capture from WABetaInfo, the section is called “nearby businesses” and will allow you to filter by restaurants, grocery and clothing stores, as well as another button called “more” to filter searches through other types of businesses that may be close to you.
Therefore, when searching for a business, you will be able to filter by these new categories and carry out the search more quickly and in a more specific way than if you did it without selecting some of the options that WhatsApp shows you in the application interface. These new categories to filter appear next to those of “photos”, “videos”, “links”, “GIFs”, “Audio” and “Documents”.
The novelty is appearing in WhatsApp beta for Android , although the functionality will also appear at some point in WhatsApp for iOS, as it almost always happens since normally the news does not always appear at the same time in both systems.
This and other news will be part of the WhatsApp news for 2022, although the arrival date is unknown as is the case with the rest of the functions that we have learned throughout the last weeks of 2021, but they should not take long to arrive. .
The possibility of looking for businesses near you through WhatsApp will be a reality sooner or later, surely over the next few weeks we will be collecting new data about its operation, which would be the ideal thing so that when it is launched the user is clear about what it is and how it is used.
