WhatsApp’s upcoming features for Android

-
After launching a separate app for businesses and incorporating UPI payments in the native app, WhatsApp is reportedly testing a bevy of new features for Android through its beta program. Users can access them by downloading the specific beta version of WhatsApp.
Allows group calls and video chats
One of the limitations in group chats on WhatsApp is that it doesn’t support voice and video calls between more than two people at a time. That may change soon as WhatsApp is trying out a new group calling feature. First seen in beta version 2.18.39 by a tech portal Wabetainfo, the feature adds the call and video button next to contact names in the groups. Users can add multiple people to initiate a group call. We don’t know how many people can be added in a group call.
Tell more about a group
First seen in beta version 2.18.54 by Wabetainfo, WhatsApp will soon have an “about us” section for groups, where any member can add a description about the group. The description can be seen by all the members at the top of the group info section. The option to edit the description will be available to all, but the group administrator can restrict others from modifying them.
Switching from voice to video calls with one tap
WhatsApp is working on a switch button in voice calls. It will allow users to switch from voice to video calls without disconnecting the ongoing call. Tapping on the switch button will send an invite to the person at the other end of the call to switch to video call. If the person accepts the invite, the voice call will get converted into video call. The feature was first noticed in beta version 2.18. 4.

But when it comes to some reputed and trusted tech companies, they easily get into people's minds with their 'new and latest offerings'. These, in most cases, would be hoax or joke offerings - those that will never exist, or those that will be available for a very short time just for laughs. Even before April 1, these companies start pushing their stories to goof around with you - with little teasers, such as the Dash Charge  announcement  that OnePlus had teased, before making briefly  available  the Dash Energy drink in select outlets Here are 2017's April Fools' tech pranks - the gimmicks, goofs, and pranks that companies decided to plan on us. Some are funny, some inane, and some lame. 1. Google Google  has always been on the frontier of people, with quirky innovations that usually get people believe it. It has some bizarre-...

Experience the Front Row in In Current VR technology most commonly uses virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments, sometimes in combination with physical environments or props, to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual or imaginary environment. A person using virtual reality equipment is able to "look around" the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features or items. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting of a head-mounted display with a small screen in front of the eyes, but can also be created through specially designed rooms with multiple large screens. The Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML), first introduced in 1994, was intended for the development of "virtual worlds" without dependency on headsets. The Web3D consortium was subsequently founded in 1997 for the development of industry standards for we...
