Youtube Video Integration
Now, when we share a Youtube video with our friends via Whatsapp, it just send the link of the video. And the receiver need to open the link with their browsers or Youtube app in order to see the video content. But in the new version of Whatsapp, we will see it integrated with Youtube. That means, from then, you don’t need to open the link using any separate app. You will be able to see the video in Whatsapp itself. An option will be also provided if you want to see the video on Youtube app.
Verified Whatsapp Business Accounts
Till now, Whatsapp was making money by just sending the user data to Facebook Ads. But, with the growing advertisement industry, Whatsapp have given a place for businesses to promote their products. They started providing verified business accounts.
Like Facebook and Twitter, now on Whatsapp also, Verified business accounts will contain a tick mark for the assurance. And using these business accounts, business owners can send advertisements or messages related to their products to other Whatsapp users like you and me.
Share Any Type Of Files
Now, people mostly use Gmail to send any important file to anyone. But very soon, Whatsapp will also allow users to send any type of file directly. Then you can send any type of file like PDF, TXT, XLS, etc to your friends. Unlike Gmail, by sending the important files directly, you can make sure that the receiver has got the file.
Switch Voice To Video Call
Now, we can make either voice call or video call to anyone. If you are talking in Whatsapp voice call and you think that video call will be more helpful, you firstly need to end the voice call and then start the video call again. But after this new feature, you will not have to end your voice call. You will be able to directly switch the call from voice to video. So that you don’t have to waste your time.
Live Location Sharing Feature
This is one of the greatest Whatsapp new features 2017. Let’s assume, a friend is coming to your home for first time and he/she don’t know the actual address of your home.
