WhatsApp supports the new notification system for iPhone phones
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Recently, the WhatsApp application owned by the Meta company, “Facebook”, revealed many new updates and features.
The new WhatsApp update brings more support for Apple’s iOS 15 operating system, as well as combats forwarded messages in chat groups.
A report by “WABetainfo” confirmed that the American company Apple introduced the new update from the iOS 15 operating system with a new Contact interface, but the WhatsApp application did not provide an update for iPhone users that is compatible with the operating system update.
Also, version 22.7.0.76 of the WhatsApp application brings official support for the new version of the Apple operating system for iPhone phones, which includes some changes in the interface, and support for iOS 15 update features.
The WhatsApp update is scheduled to support the new notification system for iPhone phones in iOS 15, where the notification system displays the sender’s profile picture in the pop-up notification window, with the sender’s name among other details.
The new notification system also determines whether received messages come in response to previous conversations, providing better support for the user in group conversations.
The WhatsApp update for iOS 15 users brings the search bar feature, which appears dark when there are no items near the search bar.
The update also supports the new “Focus” style in the operating system, and more features are scheduled to be supported in future updates to the application.
Anti forwarded messages
Phonearena, a technology news site, mentioned that, starting with the WhatsApp update for Android operating system “Beta 2.22.7.2”, WhatsApp users everywhere are not allowed to forward messages that have already been forwarded to more than one group chat on Android.
And according to WABetaInfo (via 9to5Mac), WhatsApp late last week implemented the same restrictions on the iOS version of the app (beta 22.7.0.76). You can understand that by limiting the number of times you forward messages, WhatsApp reduces the number of subscribers who receive potentially fake news. To ensure that misinformation is not spread, messages that have already been forwarded are subject to these new rules.
And if you are the originator of a message, you have no restrictions on the number of times you can forward your message. On the other hand, if you receive a message that has already been forwarded to you, it cannot be forwarded back to more than one group chat. For now, only some beta testers have received the restrictions although they will be enabled for everyone over the next few days.
