WhatsApp claims that its video-calling feature is optimized for telecom networks in regions like India.

The company’s vice president of business development Neeraj Arora recently told Economic Times, “How we have built this product is just like voice calls, which is if you have a great network condition – a Wi-Fi or 4G – it will be HD quality, and you start moving to conditions which are not that great, it will be slightly low resolution, we hope it will still work but the quality will go up and down a little depending upon the quality of the network.”

7. Support for 10 Indian languages

WhatsApp can be used in 10 local Indian languages.

Neeraj Arora, its VP of business development, said, “The important thing to note here is a lot of this work has been done by our own users. It’s crowdsourced, a lot of users were passionate about using WhatsApp in their own languages so we gave them a tool to help us translate WhatsApp in their own language.”

8. Share 30 media files at once

Post a recent update, WhatsApp has increased the maximum number of media files that can be shared with other users at one time to 30. Earlier, the maximum number of shareable media files at a time was 10.

The new features are available for Android users on WhatsApp’s beta version 2.17.6 and are expected to be rolled out to everyone soon.

9. ‘Send’ messages even without internet

Apple iPhone users can now ‘send’ WhatsApp messages even in areas of poor or no internet connectivity. The feature, which has already been there in Android smartphones for some time now, was rolled out to iOS devices days ago.
