No one has any doubt that WhatsApp is always prone to changes, trying offer an attractive platform for the greatest number of users. They recently activated a function to no longer receive messages from unknown numbers on the platform, and now it seems that they have an aesthetic novelty in their sights that will make it similar to Facebook Messenger.
Specifically, the “is writing…” or “writing…” is about to be removed from the app, to be replaced by another way to inform users when your recipient in the chat is about to add a comment. We explain why this feature is not available or will not appear soon on WhatsApp.
The “you are typing” message does not appear on WhatsApp: this is the reason
The most direct way to know if someone is paying attention to your conversation is when the replying alert appears. This feature is present in all messaging applications and in WhatsApp it is represented with a text alert of “You are typing…” under the name of the contact you are writing to.
Or rather, it has been represented, as Meta is making changes on this point. And, perhaps to give it an improvement from a visual and intuitive point of view, will bring the ellipsis icon which we already know from Facebook Messenger.
It would be a different and, in some cases, more organized way, given the warning that the user on the other side is writing it would be just below the last reply sent, as an iconto transform into the message just sent. Even in the case of group chats it is ideal, since we would know in a more visual way which chat members are responding in real time.
In the case of voice notes, The icon would not be an ellipsis, but rather the microphoneannouncing that a voice notification is coming. There’s no official announcement from WhatsApp yet on when this feature will arrive, but since it is in the beta version of the appit is understood that it will be soon.
Now you know: if you don’t receive the “is typing” message on WhatsApp, it’s because changed to something more intuitive.
