Disputed messaging service WhatsApp seems to be on a roll in terms of rolling out features in favour of the user, adding to the overall usability factor. Today, the company announced that it is rolling out a new update that comes with a feature that will greatly improve the use case scenario for the application.
This comes days after the company started testing a feature to control the playback speed for messages sent via WhatsApp using one’s voice, better known as audio messages.
What Does The New WhatsApp Update Include?
The feature that is being touted to be useful for the user will not seem to be quite major, as it is not one that will turn heads. Despite this, it is meant to be a handy feature. This feature is that of a bigger view of photos and videos in the chat. What does this mean?
This feature means that the application will now display the pictures and videos sent via chat in a bigger format to make them easier to see and view.
This announcement came via a tweet from WhatsApp, including an example of this new feature will work. As per the tweet, Photos that will be sent via WhatsApp usually appear cropped, with the user having to open it to view the complete image.
In comparison, the new update makes sure that the application displays the entire photo within the chat, reducing the cumbersome process of having to tap the image to see the entire image. This also applies to the videos.
