It seems that Telegram is hot on the heels of the most famous chat platform, WhatsApp. In fact, according to the latest data, in January Telegram displaced the application owned by Facebook from the throne, so it is not surprising that it has put the batteries and announced new changes on its platform, among which stands out the possibility to send messages to our contacts without having to be connected to the Internet, as reported by the specialized portal Wabetainfo.
This novelty of the most popular messaging application is still under development and it will be possible thanks to the multi-device function, which will allow you to connect to WhatsApp Web —The web page where you can access the application from your computer — without the need for data. This function will also offer the option to use the same account on different devices at the same time.
Video calls on your PC
Currently, WhatsApp Web It does not allow you to edit the texts or make video calls on your PC. Those are other novelties that he is preparing, he is making changes to be able not only to edit, in the future, your texts, but also to use the video calls and calls using the web platform.
Other functions that WhatsApp would be working on is in mute videos before sending, that is, a speaker icon, which would remove the sound from the recording before it is sent to the recipient. Also, no one will know if whoever sent the video intervened in it or if it simply had no sound, since there will be no visible distinction.
All these improvements are closely linked to the Latest changes made to its terms of use and conditions of service, which have motivated the outrage of its users and what rivals like Telegram will experience massive growth this past January.
When Facebook bought WhatsApp in 2014 for $ 20 billion, promised not to transfer data from one platform to another. The promise was broken on January 7 when he confirmed that WhatsApp would share the data of its users with the social network. A decision that, for now, does not affect European citizens, but that has been a setback for the already battered credibility of Facebook and WhatsApp, hence it has reacted quickly with the announcement of all these news, which will arrive throughout this 2021.
