New WhatsApp features launched

[ginggs]

No one I know uses voicemail anymore. If someone does not answer, I send them a quick message telling them I called and why. I dont think my voicemail is even active.

Is that a no then?

Delayed send feature that can be enabled?

Give the sender 30 seconds to proof read their message and check the recipient list !!

I need this

But you can delete messages already.

In the past it was only deleted on your side, not the recipient's.

You must mean Telegram features that are being added to WhatsApp, because it's certainly not new. How long before they introduce channels?

New Whatsapp features, not new features...

The "Hokkie Groep" getting too much for you?

I just want WhatsApp to be as nice to use as Telegram, and introduce stickers (which apparently are in beta). Telegram kills WhatsApp for me thanks to stickers and the desktop app.

For all you WhatsApp caller fan boys out there:

Not everyone has got good internet connection. I can't even get 3G, still on EDGE. Voice quality is bad unless you have good connection, even on 3G.

AND the person who receives the call PAYS FOR BANDWIDTH TOO!!! Why must I pay for you to call me.

Because they'll pay when you call them. You are already paying g for somebody sending you a message on WhatsApp.

Does not use all that much data, switch on the data saving mode in settings.

Yes, no-one should complain about that microscopic amount of data it uses, even without data saving mode.

Not so microscopic when 3c/minute per device (cheapest in bundle as per article) becomes 92c/minute per device OOB.

Bit late on the response, if you're constantly being added and removing yourself only to be re-added to an unwanted Whatsapp Group - block all of the group admins

Quite a bit of admin work (especially since if a new group admin is created, he/she can add you until you block them as well), but it does work

Quite a bit impractical since the group admins are my friends :/
