For its beta version, the popular instant messaging app WhatsApp has rolled out an update that will provide a new message quote feature. The advantage of this feature is that at the time of replying users will be allowed to quote another person’s message. All that the user has to do is select a message which they want to reply to, After they select a message the reply button comes up. Then they just have to tap the button then type their reply and after that hit the send button. After these steps are completed the message will be sent and the reply will appear in quotes. Irrespective of the fact that you are chatting to one person or to a group this feature will work. Also the user has the advantage of previewing the quoted message inside a box.
WhatsApp’s new feature will be found to be very helpful during group chats, as by this App we address specific user while replying. This will also be useful for the recipients as they will be able to tell apart as to which message is for them and which is not for them. Also it is found that the new message quote feature is useful for text, photos and videos. Recently a report had stated that very soon GIF support for its users will also be rolled out by WhatsApp.
According to a report by The Next Web, a recent tweet by @WABetaInfo which is a Twitter account tracking changes in WhatsApp beta versions had said that to autoplay GIFs the latest iOS beta version 2.16.7.1 of WhatsApp will have support. It also suggested that WhatsApp features GIFs directly into their chats, which will be beneficial for the user.
