6 new features coming to WhatsApp soon

WhatsApp, the instant messaging application, has over a billion users and to keep them around, the app is always adding new features. However, before rolling them out to all its users at once, it tests them with limited users under beta mode. While there are several features under tests in beta mode, here are the six features spotted in beta that are most likely to be introduced in the app in the next few days:

YouTube videos to play right into WhatsApp

The most recent feature found on WhatsApp for beta version is YouTube integration. The feature lets you view YouTube videos without leaving the app via a picture-in-picture mode.

UPI-based money transactions

UPI or Unified Payment Interface is another feature that could reach millions of WhatsApp users in India. The feature will let them transfer money without any hassle. The company for now is in talks with the government about UPI integration.

Message recall feature

This feature was first spotted in December 2016 in a beta version . However, the feature is yet to see the light of the day. This will let users pull back messages that have been already sent.

Live-location sharing

Live location sharing is another feature that was spotted earlier this year on WhatsApp for beta version but has not been rolled out to the masses yet. The feature could let users share live location for 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes or indefinitely

Number change intimation to all your contacts

Earlier this year, it was reported that WhatsApp beta for Windows Phone came with a nifty feature that sends a notification to all the WhatsApp contacts when a user changes his/her number, making the whole process less cumbersome. We are yet to see a widespread rollout of the feature.

Edit 'sent' messages

This feature to will be similar to the ‘recall’ functionality said to be coming to WhatsApp soon. However, this will go a step further and allow users to edit specific parts of a message 'sent' instead of recalling the entire text. This feature was spotted in one of the WhatsApp betas back in January this year.

How to Find Out Which Build and Version of Windows 10 You Have

You may not have really thought about Windows build numbers in the past unless it was part of your job to do so. But they’ve become more important with Windows 10. Here’s how to find out what build—and edition and version—of Windows 10 you’re running.Windows has always used build numbers. They represent significant updates to Windows. Traditionally, most people have referred to Windows based on the major, named version they’re using—Windows Vista, 7, 8, and so on. Within those versions, we also had service packs to refer to: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, for example. With Windows 10, things have changed a bit. For one thing, Microsoft claims there will be no more new versions of Windows—Windows 10 is here to stay. Microsoft has also done away with service packs, instead moving to releasing two big builds each year and giving them fun names—the next big one being the Creator’s Update in Spring, 2017. If you really need to refer to a specific version of Windows...
