The popular mobile phone messenger app, Whatsapp has got new update sporting several new exciting features.
The most exciting of the new features is surely the ability to mark an already read message as unread. This feature is exceptionally wonderful especially for very busy people who may not be able to reply every received message immediately and most times forget to reply entirely. By marking an already seen message as unread, it serves as a kind of reminder. It is worthy of note though, that marking messages as unread on whatsapp does not change the status on the senders device. The sender will still know that you ‘ve already read the message.
Other interesting new feature added is the ability to customize the notification sounds for individual contacts or group conversations. This will help users to recognize the message sender even before unlocking their smartphone. It also a good way to pay special attention to a specific conversation especially for those with many contacts. Users also has the ability to mute a conversation for a period of time.
There is also another great feature in the new whatsapp update, the low data usage option for WhatsApp voice calls. As the name suggests, the feature should help users save data while on whatsapp call. This will be greatly enjoyed in Nigeria and other african countries were internet data access is still very expensive.
