The new beta of WhatsApp is really very promising, indeed there are some really useful features. A new color for the background display, new gestures available to activate functions and the ability to open WhatsApp with Face ID or Touch ID will be available to the public very soon..
Dark mode
For starters, the big messaging service announced the release of a dark mode, which has already been awaited for a very long time by WhatsApp users. Dark mode provides a lot of benefits, like optical surface, and more. On the other hand, the battery consumption has been drastically reduced, especially for smartphones using an OLED display, indeed dark mode is a way to save a lot of battery. In addition, dark colors are good for the eyes compared to too bright colors that may tire them, especially when you are in front of the screen before going to bed.
An answer just by swiping to the right
If a message you want to reply to was written not long ago, you can bring it back just by swiping to the right. By doing this, the message in question, along with the reply will appear again at the bottom of the chat history. This function works well in simple chats as well as in group chats..
For optimal security of your messages, we strongly recommend that you regularly make backups of your WhatsApp conversations. So if you ever face any loss of your data or even your device, you can restore your data. FonePaw - iOS Data Backup & Restore (opens new window) and FonePaw - Android Data Backup & Restore (opens new window) are very good software for this.
Face ID and Touch ID
WhatsApp is also embarking on a new path in terms of security. As anyone who could access the smartphone was able to open the WhatsApp application, the big messenger found a way to give its users a better sense of security. Now it is possible to limit access to WhatsApp on smartphones by activating the option to open the application by Touch ID or Face ID, and if there are too many attempts to open which are invalid, the app will ask you to enter your iPhone password. Isn't that great? But for now, this new security feature is only available on iOS. WhatsApp has yet to reveal whether or not this feature will be available to Android users. In any case, the future will tell us more.
