Including the new update feature of Chat Filter Whatsapp is continuously rolling out some very interesting features day by day. These include sending files of bigger sizes of size up to 2 GB at a time which previously just was a size of 100 MB which was not sufficient for users. These big-size files will also be end-to-end encrypted. Now users of Whatsapp can transfer videos and images altogether at the same time. Whatsapp also noted and informed their users that they will get to know the time it will take in uploading and downloading files.
Another updated feature includes reactions as emojis. In this feature when users long-press any message six different emojis will be displayed, which they can select as a reaction to the message. They just need to select by tapping on the desired emoji as their reaction. Six different emojis include a thumbs-up emoji, emoji in a laughing gesture, an emoji in shocking gesture, an emoji in a sad gesture with a tear rolling out, and last emoji of a heart. Users have to use only these six emojis up till now means they cannot change emojis on their own.
