WhatsApp, the most used messaging application in the world, wants to make its application even more useful by offering new features to its users. The platform, which first presents its regular innovations to Beta testers, is now working on a feature for iOS users.
WhatsApp will show profile photo in notifications
Prepared for an innovation for iOS users, WhatsApp rolled up its sleeves to make incoming notifications more useful. According to the innovation made available to beta testers, incoming messages will no longer appear only as names. The profile picture of the message or caller will be displayed as a notification. This feature will also be available for WhatsApp group conversations.
This feature has been used by Android users for a while. This feature, which will also come to iOS, will be available to Beta users in the latest version. WhatsApp, as always, offers this feature to Beta testers first. The platform has not yet announced when this feature will roll out to the general public.
The company has accelerated its innovation trials quite recently. Many features, from business to privacy, from group admins authority to interface refresh, are currently in the testing phase. The feature it plans to bring, especially for businesses, is the kind that will make many corporate owners smile.
WhatsApp tries out business directory feature
WhatsApp will create a new interface on the platform for this feature. This interface will allow nearby businesses to be searched directly within the app. The feature, called Business Directory, will appear in the Nearby Businesses tab. Users will be able to search for nearby hotels, restaurants and markets with the category selection feature in the Nearby Businesses tab. Being found on a platform with such a large number of users, thanks to searches, will undoubtedly put a smile on the face of business owners.
