WhatsApp Features Now
WhatsApp became one of the most popular online messaging applications that bring a free service to send and receive messages and make phone calls with more clear exchanges. However, it faced a lot of disputes due to Meta's (formerly Facebook) data exchanges that will let the company access user data from the app to its servers.
Since then, users have looked into boycotting WhatsApp and Meta's group of social media platforms to avoid their data being stolen, especially as it is a massive issue now. Additionally, they looked for alternatives in instant messaging applications, including the cloud-based platform of Telegram and the encrypted messaging app of Signal Messenger.
Since then, the Meta-owned instant messaging application changed its ways and focused on bringing new features for its users that still utilize the app. The elements it brought gave a new meaning to the app and made it famous once again. The app focused on bringing social media features to the messaging application from Meta.
