As announced in mid-April, WhatsApp is introducing reaction emojis. To benefit from it, you must access the latest version of the application. A priori, we could say that it just brings a playful and practical side. But this will mainly have the effect of reducing the number of messages posted.
It was indeed necessary to create a new one to react until then. This will therefore lighten the conversations and consequently reduce the number of notifications. WhatsApp also promises to gradually expand the range of expressions in the coming months.
Up to 2 GB for shared files
What was also expected was the ability to send larger files. It’s done with a limit that goes from 100 MB to 2 GB. A counter will indicate the duration of the transfer during the download.
Finally, still with a view to developing more tools for communities, WhatsApp is working on increasing the number of members in groups. It should be possible shortly to add up to 512 people.
