The latest feature that was added in WhatsApp allows users to track their friends who are members of the same group, in real time. This was to be expected since the company has been working on the new features that were introduced in the beta version of the Android app.

Coming soon, WhatsApp users will be able to revoke and edit sent messages on the Android version, as these features have already been tested on the iPhone beta. It seems that in version 2.17.25 and 2.17.26 of WhatsApp, the option to revoke/recover a message has already appeared, which will allow users who change their mind after pressing Send, to revoke the message. To revoke a sent message, users will long-press on it, but this will work only if the recipient hasn’t read the message yet. After that, they can edit the text and resubmit it.

In addition to the recover/edit function, WhatsApp is preparing another new function. Users reported that version 2.16.399 (Android) and 2.17.3.28 (iOS) introduced live location tracking, and this feature does exactly what its name suggests. If you’re part of a group with a lot of members, you can track them in real time, but even if it’s some kind of stalking, this feature comes in handy when you run into someone in a certain place and don’t. know where it is. You can choose to track your friends for one minute, two minutes, more minutes, or indefinitely, but if you don’t want your friends to know where you are at any given time, you can turn off the live streaming option.

If you install the latest version of WhatsApp for either of the two major platforms, you will find that the live location feature is disabled by default, and in order to benefit from it, you will need to enable it. At some point, Facebook, the owner of WhatsApp, allowed users to find close friends, but eventually, Close Friends was removed due to user privacy concerns.

Whatsapp, now owned by Facebook, has been announcing and releasing a lot of changes lately. Recently Whatsapp announced the camera features and it seems that the messaging app has finally started rolling out updates with the new features.

While the updates are only for Android users at the moment, they are expected to roll out to iOS users soon as well. The updates bring some fun and quirky elements to Whatsapp and allow users to enjoy a better camera experience.
