In addition to this, WhatsApp is also working on a tool that will allow users to use AI to edit their photos before they send them to others. Users will reportedly be able to change the background of the images, add artistic effects to the images and more. The introduction of these features will eliminate the need to use other AI-powered tools to get answers to queries or edit images. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Share files" comment="subhead" text="Share files">Share files</cmsannotation> WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to easily share files with others.

In addition to chats, the app offers access to voice and video calls. Voice calling is an excellent feature that allows users to connect to people across the world, without having to pay anything. However, the feature is now being misused by people to scam Indians. Over the past few weeks, there has been a significant increase in Indian WhatsApp users receiving spam calls from international numbers. The Indian government is even sending a<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news/it-ministry-to-send-notice-to-whatsapp-on-international-spam-calls-issue-chandrasekhar/articleshow/100165002.cms"> notice</a> to WhatsApp over reports about international spam calls.

The feature was aimed at offering users more control over messages and text shared is retained by the other users. One of the flaws of this feature was that WhatsApp was auto-saving the media on the device, rendering the disappearing messages feature useless. According to a <a href="https://wabetainfo.com/whatsapp-is-introducing-some-changes-to-media-visibility/">report</a> by WaBetaInfo, WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new update that will rectify this. The new feature was spotted in the Android 2.22.4.14 and should be available to all users soon. WhatsApp will now stop auto-saving media from the chats and groups in which disappearing messages have been turned on. This will make the chats more secure and will make the disappearing messages feature more useful. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Here’s how you can still save photos and videos" comment="subhead" text="Here’s how you can still save photos and videos">Here’s how you can still save photos and videos</cmsannotation> However, users will still be able to manually save photos and videos from chats and groups where disappearing messages have been turned on. So, this feature is still not completely foolproof. Then again, you can always take a screenshot if you wish to retain media, something which cannot be done on apps like <keyword id="6358096" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="snapchat" source="Orion">Snapchat</keyword> as they inform the sender that you have taken a screenshot. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Other upcoming features" comment="subhead" text="Other upcoming features">Other upcoming features</cmsannotation> A recent <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news/whatsapp-might-soon-limit-forwarding-messages-in-groups-to-curb-the-spread-of-misinformation/articleshow/90634763.cms">report</a> has revealed that WhatsApp is also working on a feature that will limit the number of times you can send a forwarded message to group chats to one. This is aimed at reducing spam and preventing the spread of misinformation. The Facebook-owned messaging app is also working on bringing reactions to the app. This will allow you to reply to messages with reactions, similar to the reaction button on Facebook.
