Let’s take a look at the new features rolled out by the Whatsapp latest version.

Convert Video into Gif

Instead of sending a video file to your peers, why can’t you boost them with an animated gif? Whatsapp let you convert a 6-second video file into a gif file. You can resize the gif length before you hit the send button. The gif files will be automatically get stored in “WhatsApp Animated Gifs” on the Whatsapp inventory.

Zoom while you record

Whatsapp changes the way you send a video file. It allows you to zoom while you track a video by sliding your fingers up and down to zoom in and out. One of the additional features it offers is that you can switch between the front and rear cameras by double tapping on the display screen.

Scribble like Snapchat

We are a bunch of  crazy people who need emojis and text to emote with your images and videos. That’s why Whatsapp have incorporated the camera setting just like the Snapchat. You can add text, emojis, stickers, draw and scribble on your pictures and videos.

Send PDFs

You might have come across an amazing ebook on travel and want to ‘whatsapp’ your wanderlust friend as soon as possible. But, you end up suggesting that book rather than sending the actual file as Whatsapp don’t support PDFs. To meet this drawback, now it lets you share PDF files and other popular format documents.

Share from cloud

One of the salient features in the recently updated version is the sharing of files on online cloud drives. It allows you to share files from the cloud drives like Google Drive, Microsoft One Drive and Dropbox, making the sharing process much easier than ever.

Auto-sorted media, documents and link

As Whatsapp is flooded with too many files and documents, it is now possible to track all your files shared either in a group chat or an individual chat. Whatsapp auto-sort all the files into three categories: Media, Document and Links. You just need to tap the three dot icon on the top right of the chat and then select ‘Media’ from the option to track your file.

Control your data setting

This new feature is the most wanted and helpful feature for the users as it saves the data usage. Every user is concerned about the data being deliberately used by the internet. Whatsapp took this concern seriously and made users customize their data settings when their device is using the mobile data, Wifi and on roaming.
