Zuckerberg shifted into second gear. For years, WhatsApp has been a virtually unchanged app, but in recent months the trend has reversed: WhatsApp often delivers news and Telegram In technical stance.

We’re used to Telegram going over WhatsApp in terms of news, and it’s surprising that the first one rests a bit on its laurels right when WhatsApp is running: More than ten news came to WhatsApp Since Telegram was last updated in a big way.

WhatsApp press…

WhatsApp for Wear OS

Traditionally, WhatsApp has been an app that stays the same almost year after year, such that it took a long time to add voice calls and even longer to add video calls. The app has evolved over the years, but considering she’s about to turn 15, the truth is innovation rate has never been high.

We’ve noticed this especially since Telegram came along, because as WhatsApp adds something every three months, hopefully, each monthly Telegram update contained a series of news. This still happens today, but the difference is that WhatsApp acts together. These are all the news WhatsApp has to offer or promote since Telegram last had a major update:

• Link four mobile phones to the account: Although the new multi-device mod has been in circulation for a few months now, it hasn’t officially graduated and is considered stable until recently. Thus, it is now possible to use the same WhatsApp account on up to four devices, which can be Android or iPhone phones.
• Editing messages: We didn’t think it would come, but it came anyway. Since last month, we can edit our messages within 15 minutes after sending.
• WhatsApp for Wear OS: We also didn’t expect WhatsApp to come to Wear OS, especially since Telegram abandoned the Wear OS version of its app a few years ago.
• Screen sharing in calls: For several weeks it has been possible to share the screen of our mobile (or WhatsApp for PC and Windows) during a video call.
• Chat lock: During the month of May, WhatsApp announced a new way to protect our most private chats with Chat Lock. This is a way to hide certain chats that can only be opened after you identify yourself with the fingerprint of the mobile phone.

• Channels: Yes, they are quite inspired by Telegram and are not yet available to everyone, but WhatsApp announced one of the biggest news of recent times, channels at the beginning of the month.
• Unwanted calls: Few days ago WhatsApp added a new setting so that we can filter WhatsApp calls from unknown callers.
• Privacy Review: WhatsApp makes it easy for us to review the main privacy options of the app, with a privacy review that includes shortcuts to the most relevant options spread across the app.
• Poll Improvements: From the beginning of May, it is possible to create polls in which only one answer can be selected. Prior to this innovation, all WhatsApp polls supported multi-response selection.
• Comments on redirect: A small but interesting change is that since last month we can save, edit or delete the comment attached to a photo or video before forwarding it.

These are the news that WhatsApp has announced or launched globally, but if we look closely in the news in beta or we learned they are on the way, the list will grow with a redesign of the interface, video messages, sending photos in 4K, pinning messages to a chat and more.

… as Telegram unwinds

At the time of writing this post, the last major Telegram update was on April 21: two months ago.

By the way, they seem to have taken a break from Telegram. Last major Telegram update Telegram 9.6 released on April 21. Telegram 9.6, as usual, has come with many new features such as shared folders, custom wallpapers and more.

Telegram list is changing after this update More like WhatsApp of the past. Here is a summary of all versions and their official changes:

• Telegram 9.6.1 (April 22): Minor fixes and changes.
• Telegram 9.6.2 (April 26): Minor fixes and changes.
• Telegram 9.6.3 (April 28): Minor fixes and changes.
• Telegram 9.6.4 (May 1): Minor fixes and changes.
• Telegram 9.6.5 (May 4): Minor fixes and changes.
• Telegram 9.6.6 (May 27): Minor fixes and changes.
• Telegram 9.6.7 (May 30): Minor fixes and changes.

So Telegram has been empty for news for two months. It’s not unheard of and after such a hectic pace of change its developers got a vacation, but to say the least curious It exactly coincides with the time that WhatsApp prints plus rhythm.

What does this “delay” mean? Telegram is preparing something big for your next update? The truth is, we don’t know if the number change is starting to come dangerously close to its version, and it wouldn’t be unreasonable to think they’ve prepared something special for this occasion. Or they are on vacation.
