Since the beginning of last August, WhatsApp has been incorporating into its application a function expected by many of its users. Although it has taken them some time, it is now possible to make group calls and video calls on mobile phones through its service.
All users of WhatsApp, provided they have installed the latest version of the application, should be able to use this recent and interesting tool.
If you’ve come here because you’re looking for methods to spy on someone else’s WhatsApp conversations, you’re probably interested in reading this article in its entirety.
The Internet is full of information about how to spy other WhatsApp accounts. Pages and applications for mobile phones that promise to do so are multiplying on the Internet. All you have to do is search with terms like “spy WhatsApp” to get thousands of results with every kind of information, most of them deceptive and sometimes, even malicious.
As we update our WhatsApp application during these days, we will all be getting a notice about the new conditions that we must accept. The biggest novelty that we will find is the obligation to declare that we are at least 16 years old. It is an essential requirement to continue using the service.
This change in the conditions of use is due to the imminent entry into force of the new General Regulation of Data Protection (RGPD) of the European Union (EU), which will take effect from May 25 on.
We cannot add people in a WhatsApp group without their permission. This has been made clear by the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD), according to this resolution issued against a Town Hall that wanted to use this medium to send informative circulars to its neighbors.
It happened last month in a small municipality called Boecillo, located in the province of Valladolid (Spain), although the events took place throughout last year. The mayor of the town decided to create one of these groups in the well-known application of WhatsApp in order to send circulars to citizens. In this way, the information would arrive immediately and comfortably to all of them, which a priori seemed like a great idea. The total number of components in the group was 256 contacts, the maximum amount accepted by this platform in the creation of groups.
One of the most frequent and most worrying inquiries we receive is whether the conversations with WhatsApp that have already been deleted can be recovered in some way.
We know that the application makes backup copies of our chats and that from there it is possible to recover conversations maintained in the past, as long as they are stored in those copies.
What many people want is to permanently eliminate conversations so that nobody can ever read them. The reasons for procuring this privacy are usually related to the fear of espionage by someone close to them, but also to the fact that they use the application to talk about absolutely personal and compromising topics, something that is not advisable when dealing with means that work through Internet.
The function of deleting messages once sent so that they also disappear in the recipients finally appears in WhatsApp.
Until now, once a message came out of our phone to an individual chat or a group, it was no longer possible to delete it. As soon as we saw the message indicator change to a simple check, it meant that it had already reached the server and that the recipient was going to receive the message irremediably as soon as it had a connection.
But a new version of the popular WhatsApp instant messaging application is already being distributed that allows you to delete them once they are sent, so that they disappear from both the source phone and the recipients.
This is one of the most frequent questions our readers ask us related to the image stories of WhatsApp. And is that social networks in general and messaging services, such as WhatsApp, lend a lot to suspicion.
We often intend to follow up on what someone shares publicly on the Internet but at the same time we want to hide the interest we have in it, especially the one being watched.
Recently a new feature has appeared in Whatsapp that allows to show small ephemeral videos. We will find it in what they call Status.
Until now, the status in Whatsapp consisted of a simple phrase or small message associated with our profile that was shown next to our photo. It was constant as long as we did not modify it and we could choose to be seen by all users, only our contacts or nobody.
On occasion we have received comments from our readers describing situations in the functioning of WhatsApp that does not correspond with what was expected.
Some users observe that other people remain “Online” for a long time but when they send them messages, they are left with the simple mark, indicating that they have not received them.
Finally, the expected video chat feature is now available in the world’s most widely used instant messaging application, WhatsApp.
In an official statement published on their blog, Whatsapp announces the official deployment of this feature:
“Over the years we have received many messages from our users requesting video calls and we are excited to finally be able to offer this capability to the world …”
