For WhatsApp Web , 2022 will be an important year in which different news will arrive that we are going to share with you below, some of which we already know thanks to beta versions that have been tested by some developers, but which are not available to any user.
The end of 2021 is getting closer and closer and the arrival of 2022 will bring news for WhatsApp Web , but also new functions for the WhatsApp app, although they usually appear first for WhatsApp and then for WhatsApp Web.
It is a matter of time before all these news appear, they can be official in early 2022, in the middle or at the end of the year, it rarely happens that an announced functionality takes too long to arrive or does not arrive directly, although there is a case like that.
We are going to review all those news that we will almost certainly see in 2022 for WhatsApp Web, the web version of WhatsApp that allows you to chat from your computer without using your mobile thanks to the multi-device mode of WhatsApp.
Unlimited message deletion
For some time, WhatsApp has allowed you to delete sent messages, although it offers a time limit of 68 minutes in which images, videos, etc. are also included. The novelty that will come to WhatsApp soon is the ability to delete messages without limit .
It is an option expected by many, but it will first come to WhatsApp and surely later at some point in 2022 to WhatsApp Web as it happens almost always when something new appears, so you can delete messages from 1 month, 1 year or as old as they are .
Choose which people see your last connection
Soon, surely already in 2022, you will be able to choose which people can see your last connection . So far it is not possible to differentiate between who can see this data and who cannot, but you can choose no one, all or only your contacts, adding another option soon.
This novelty is not new for users of WhatsApp mods, but the official one still does not have it and when it is implemented what it will allow is that you can choose from a list of your contacts who of them will be able to see your last connection and who you do not want to see it. see through an option “my contacts, except …” .
Sticker store
We already saw at the beginning of the month that WhatsApp Web is preparing to receive the sticker store , a novelty that is already present in WhatsApp mobile apps. What this option will allow is to see our stickers and choose any of them to send them in a conversation.
Not so download any, just check the ones we already have and send one in a chat. The function is available via WhatsApp Web beta, which means that at some point in 2022 it will reach all users, so they will not have to use the application to see the stickers.
Instagram reels on WhatsApp Web
The integration of certain functionalities of one app in another is a reality that Meta has been doing for a long time, for example, an Instagram Stories can also be seen in Facebook stories and the next thing will be the integration of Instagram Reels in WhatsApp .
At first, you will be able to see the Instagram Reels on WhatsApp mobile through a new section, but the most certain thing is that this possibility will end up arriving sooner or later on WhatsApp Web, if not the passage of time is successful among the users.
Convert image to sticker
Although the novelty of converting a PC image into a sticker will be available for WhatsApp Desktop during 2022, it will most likely end up arriving sooner or later also for WhatsApp Web, surely at the beginning of the new year that is already near.
It will be a new button within WhatsApp Web that will offer the possibility of converting any image from your computer into a sticker quickly, without the need to use any external tool, it will be the service itself that will take care of this task comfortably.
Larger stickers
It is expected that the possibility of seeing larger stickers will be a reality in WhatsApp Web in 2022, and it makes sense that they have a larger size in the web version because we use a computer to chat, a device much larger than the mobile.
The change will be that the stickers will be somewhat larger and, therefore, will occupy more space in the conversation, which could be an advantage in the case of WhatsApp Web, but not in the mobile application, which could even be uncomfortable.
Reactions to messages and notification
Reactions to WhatsApp messages , as they are already possible on Instagram, will also most likely be a reality for WhatsApp Web throughout 2022. It will be a new way to express our feelings to a specific message or simply to let them know that we have read it , although the reactions can be unofficially activated for WhatsApp Web.
It will work as follows, someone sends you a message and you could react to that message with very specific icons when you click on that message, without having to write to reply or choose an emoticon from the emoji gallery. Also, when you send one and someone reacts to a message, you will also see a notification.
These are the WhatsApp Web news that we will see sometime in 2022 , the point is that there are no known dates for the arrival of all these functionalities, but it does seem certain that sooner or later we will have them in the WhatsApp web service in order to keep improving.
