New WhatsApp feature launched

WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature to its messaging client.

No Multiquote but still handy

 

[Wall]

sounds very useful

 

[Necropolis]

That's pretty cool

 

[bwana]

That's actually quite useful (for a change).

 

[Thor]

Probably useful in group chats, can't see using this in a personal chat.

 

[Dan C]

Say it all you like, if you're using Telegram chances are no one is listening.

I use it quite often in Telegram.

Useful if someone sends a flood of questions.

You can quote yourself.

Might come in handy if someone did not reply to a previous text of yours??

Passive-aggressive whatsapp'ing?

Does anybody know how to turn off the time and date stamp feature when I copy and paste previous comments in a chat?

Like this... When I paste... [Fake phone number]
[08:37, 6/13/2016] +27 82 861 4084: Will wait here.
[08:37, 6/13/2016] +27 82 861 4084: It's ice cold.
[08:37, 6/13/2016] +27 82 861 4084: At least I brought my beanie and gloves.
[13:49, 6/13/2016] +27 82 861 4084: What did she say? Did their power come on again? Does she want us to buy a gas heater and a gas stove for her?

 

[entrepr]

No. I have to paste across one message at a time for that

Sometimes I think the whole WhatsApp/Telegram thing, is similar to the iOS/Android.

The new iOS features generally come out on Android a few generations prior. So much so, it was said that Android is the preview for the new upcoming iOS.

Seems WhatsApp is maybe a generation behind

PS I haven't even used Telegram ; just going on things I've read
