Once we are hooked on the WhatsApp messaging application, we appreciate most of the functions that Meta offers us. This way we can keep in touch with our friends and family in different ways, all practically in real time.
Not in vain, this is one of the main objectives of this type of applications that are so successful at the moment. The aforementioned WhatsApp application is the leader in the sector, and its developers try to adapt to the times. Next we are going to talk to you about a new function that will arrive shortly, right now it is in the testing period, to keep up to date with the news from our contacts here.
Apart from the text chats, video calls, or voice calls that we have with them, there are other important elements in the application. In these lines we want to focus on those called States that are increasingly used by the majority on the platform. It is worth mentioning that at this time we can receive all types of notifications from the application itself.
Well, we tell you all this because right now Meta is testing some new notifications that will reach us and will be extremely useful for many. Specifically, we mean that we will soon have the possibility of receiving notices when one of our contacts changes their current status. This is something that will be extremely useful for all those who have a long list of contacts in their favorite messaging application.
This type of content in particular is becoming more common and used in the WhatsApp application. Hence precisely why Meta wants to make things easier for us when it comes to keeping up with the news, in this case.
WhatsApp will send notifications of status changes
Users from all over the world use these statuses that we mentioned to share temporary content with their friends and family. Surely many of you already know that States can be made up of photos or videos that are shared temporarily.
They are valid for the next 24 hours after their publication. This means that on many occasions, especially if we have many contacts, we can miss a good part of these States published by our contacts. But things are going to change soon.
Currently, the firm behind WhatsApp is testing a new function in the form of notifications to inform us about Status changes. In this way, every time one of the contacts that we have added to the agenda publishes new content of this type, we will receive a notification on our mobile phone. As you can imagine, this will allow us not to miss any changes in this regard again if we so wish.
Obviously, we are talking about a feature that we will have the possibility of activating or deactivating, since many users do not give too much importance to this temporary content. It is worth mentioning that initially this is a functionality that will be disabled by default and we can put it into operation by hand.
