If you try to look at the number of social apps available for mobile you can find in the app store, you would probably find large numbers, making you quite doubtful. However, out of the different application you are able to find in app store, there are only few of them which quite famous and people prefer to use them. WhatsApp, is one of those application which has tasted the flavor for success. WhatsApp seems to be the best you could ask for. Ever since Facebook has taken over the WhatsApp, it has been in the news quite a lot. There are some changes which are incorporated into WhatsApp, perhaps with the aim of letting people know that the future of this app is bright.
If you are not sure about the changes made in WhatsApp, here are some of the top picks.
Privacy Settings
One of the most the baffling and troublesome feature of WhatsApp was the issue of profile picture. Anyone who has your contact number in your cell phone can view your profile picture without putting any efforts. Some people are skeptical of such things and we all are well aware of the extent and type of cybercrime that is prevalent.
However, now there are some provisions to control the visibility of your profile picture. You have three options to pick from
- Me
- My friends
- Everyone
These options are self-explanatory and which means that you can now configure as to who has the access to view your profile picture. However, along with the privacy control features, there is another point that has been added. Now you have option to share the profile pictures of your friends on different social networking sites or even save a copy and email it.
While your friends are not likely to tamper with your pictures, yet it doesn’t seem to be a particularly impressive feature as far as security is concerned.
The Last Seen Feature – End of the Debacle
Ever since WhatsApp was launched, the last seen feature of this application has been remained one of the most discussed aspects. There have been fights among the people not replying to their messages even though they had viewed the message. Finally, there have been additional options incorporated in WhatsApp.
Now you have the option to turn off your last seen feature. This will not only allow others to see your last seen time but also there would less number of fights due to the same reason, which was the big issue earlier. At the same time, you can’t keep track of others as well. If you do not want such a setting, you can choose to retain your old setting as well.
These are just a few of the changes that have been made. It is most likely that the new updates will keep adding some more features to this amazing application. You also have the option of spying for your friend’s subscription and this seems to be an extremely well thought feature to be added.
Add the right mix of emoticons and share multimedia files and videos to make the most out of WhatsApp.
