NEWS COMING TO WHATSAPP IN 2024

The application will allow us to have a username through which it will be possible to contact… without having to share the contact. This way, you will be identified through a usernamewhich will have, as is the case on other social networks, an @ followed by the name.
GOAL AI
A discovery made by WABetaInfo noticed a small button within WhatsApp, which allows users to simply and quickly start a conversation with AI with just one tap. Located above the green “Start a new conversation” icon (bottom right) in the “Conversations” tab.
This new multicolored shortcut aims to make the action button more accessible, making it practically impossible to miss. When you click, you start a conversation with a chatbot with the AI, designed to provide companionship, personalized instruction, and fun interactions. It will be available 24 hours a day, thus providing an uninterrupted consultation resource.
INTEROPERABILITY
This change was not made on its own initiative. This is because the European Union forced the company to comply with the maximum obligations of the Digital Markets Law (DMA). Otherwise, you would be fined up to 10% of your annual global revenues. So, when we talk about WhatsApp interoperability, we mean that the application will allow users to communicate directly with other messaging applications, such as TelegramiMessage and others.

NEW TEXT FORMATS
WhatsApp will also to implement three additional formats. Thus, in addition to bold, italics, strikethrough and monospace, they will also be available lists, quotes (quotes) and code blocks. To access the text formatting options, you will have to open a conversation, write a word, click on it for a few seconds until it is highlighted and a mini-window appears.
