One feature the messenger is testing is the optional subscription plan for business accounts. THE WhatsApp Business “Premium” should bring extra features for businesses, such as the ability to link a business account on up to ten devices. In addition, according to the WABetaInfo portal, the messenger has been working on a new interface for the “Linked Device” section of the commercial version of the app. More information about other subscription functions, as well as the value, has not yet been released.

Keep temporary messages in chat
–
Another feature under development by WhatsApp seen in a Beta version for iPhone is the possibility to keep temporary messages, which would disappear after a certain time, in the chat. In the trial version, a warning appears on the screen asking if the user wants to keep the message in the chat. If you change your mind, it seems, you can also go back and make the message temporary again.

Location and time stickers, as in Instagram
– –
O WhatsApp is revamping the current location and time stickers that can be added to Status photos and videos. The model under development resembles the content stickers of Instagram. In the trial version, the WhatsApp used APIs from Android to generate the user’s location and create the custom sticker. Unlike the current feature where the sticker is named “Location”, future stickers will be represented with the custom name of the location.

O WhatsApp should also announce the release of a function that allows you to check contacts’ status updates directly from the conversation directory. Similar to the Stories of Instagram, a green “circle” will be displayed around the profile picture of the user who adds a status, so that you can check the update by tapping on the image. If added, the tool will allow more people to check the “Status” section of the messaging app.
