Summer is coming and it's time to enjoy with friends and family, but not everything is vacations and swimming pools, many of us have to continue working like the WhatsApp developers do, who They do not stop improving the instant messaging app. And the latest update that the app team has been working on is very complete. If you want to know What's new on WhatsApp for this summer, keep reading because we are going to see them all.
WhatsApp is renewed, news for this summer
Since WhatsApp introduced calling in 2015, developers have not stopped adding improvements. First there were group calls, then video calls and later came cross-platform support. But this summer is even more amazing since they bring new features that will make your video calls even better in every way.
And now, with this update, Video calls will start to work better than beforeLet's see why.
Screen sharing with audio
First of all, we have an improvement that many of us saw as necessary, and that is that now the shared screen will have audio too. This is useful and necessary in countless situations that you can imagine. For example, think that you are watching a very interesting video about the future of artificial intelligence and you want to share it with someone in real time, that is, live screen sharing.
While we couldn't do this before, now WhatsApp makes it easy for you and allows you to show video and audio at the same time with the option to share screen with audio. This feature is perfect for enjoying multimedia content together, no matter where the rest of your contacts are.
More participants in video calls
Surely if you have used the WhatsApp video calling function you have seen a major flaw. This fault is none other than running out of space to include more members on the call. Well from now on forget about that because Now you can add up to 32 participants to your video calls on all your devices.
will you have Guaranteed space for family video calls, obviously saving cases of families that, more than numerous, are multitudinous.
Featured speaker
And so you don't miss a word of what is being said during video calls, WhatsApp will now automatically highlight the person who is speaking, placing them in the foreground. This is a feature inspired by Meet or Teams, which works as is. It is another improvement to the service that allows us, in video calls with many people, to always know who is calling the shots.
Other news that we will find on WhatsApp this summer
On the other hand, WhatsApp continues to work hard to improve the audio and video quality in all your calls. Without going further, WhatsApp developers have released the MLow codec, an audio codec that promises interference-free calls, without annoying noise or echoes, even if you are in a noisy environment or have poor connectivity.
Also, if your connection is fast enough, you will enjoy video calls in higher resolution, something that is always nice. And with the quality that we already have in some mobile terminals, seeing video calls with low quality is quite frustrating. As you can see for yourself, this improvement is a great step so that, regardless of the device or the quality of your network, always have a crisp and clear calling experience.
Also from now on, You will not be able to take screenshots of your contacts' profile photos. To improve the privacy of our online data, WhatsApp now does not allow its users to take screenshots, but it is important to know that, for obvious reasons, photos of profile images can be taken. So I don't recommend that you use just any profile image, better put a nice image to appreciate.
And finally, we now have the possibility of adjust the default quality of the photos and videos that we send via WhatsApp directly in HD. This way you will not lose image quality when you send multimedia files via WhatsApp.
With all these improvements, WhatsApp wants to make sure that your private calls have the best possible quality, wherever you are. And they will continue to make more improvements in the future to make every conversation perfect. But I want to ask you, what would you improve about the most used instant messaging application in the world? I read you in comments.
