The 6 new WhatsApp functions that will be in 2021
This year 2021 WhatsApp has to face one of the toughest years of competition, so here we will show you the new WhatsApp functions that may be available this year. To face this and remain in the first position of the most used mobile messaging in the world, it must improve its functions, since in this messaging such as Telegram they are gaining space little by little.
For that reason, both in WhatsApp and in the competition we will see great changes. And the most certain thing is that the year 2021 will be a year of many innovations in this type of service. Already starting the year Telegram announced that it would have paid functions, let's see then what WhatsApp proposes to change this year 2021.
- The version of WhatsApp web will be improved
WhatsApp has taken a long time to improve its web version. The functions available in it are very few and in fact it has no functions beyond what the phone can do. Worse still, it has fewer functions than the mobile application, a difference it has with services such as Telegram web or Skype.
So WhatsApp intelligently sets out to do something that none of the above services have been able to do. And it is making video calls through WhatsApp web. This new feature is one of those expected to be available throughout the year. Although we still do not know the exact date when this update may be available.

Vacation mode will be implemented
Vacation mode is a WhatsApp innovation to silence all the chats we have on the device. This is about having this mode, WhatsApp turns off all notifications of all conversations and groups of our WhatsApp. In order that these notifications do not torment us. This is especially helpful for people who for some reason have to be in a large number of groups and cannot get out of them.
It is not yet very clear what the scope will be the new version vacation mode. But we imagine that we can have a decision on those things that we want to silence. For example, we must be able to silence only groups if we want to, or all contacts if we want.
WhatsApp on various devices
One of the functions that has taken the longest to arrive has been the function of having WhatsApp on different devices. The competition has already overtaken the WhatsApp company in this. Well, with Telegram we can have our Telegram session active on all the devices we want. It is expected that in WhatsApp there is a total limit of the devices that we can use, until now it is believed that there will be four total devices that we can use.
Currently we can also use two WhatsApp on the same device, but this is about opening two different WhatsApp, one personal and one business on the same device. This function will allow access to WhatsApp messaging on different devices at the same time.
Temporary photos
Temporary photos are also a promise of WhatsApp in 2021. This is about taking photos that are available to the person for a certain time, which can be between a few minutes or hours. In such a way that the person does not have to press delete for all for the image to be deleted.
However, this is not entirely fallible. We have seen similar functions in other types of messaging service, although you can delete the photo of the same message, this does not imply that the person can or cannot take a capture of the image that the person sent.
In such a way that if the person is prepared to receive an image and capture it, this function will not prevent him from doing so. We will have to wait if WhatsApp thought a bit about how to improve this and make it more difficult for the recipient to keep up with the information in the image.

New shopping function from WhatsApp
For a long time, Facebook has been faced with various adversities in order to monetize WhatsApp. But we already see where Facebook is going with its role in buying in messaging. This is an interconnection with merchandise suppliers connected from Facebook, where we can buy directly through WhatsApp.
This may be one of the great innovations in messaging for this year. Since we have not seen any other messaging with a similar function, it may be one of Facebook's Booms for this year to be able to interconnect directly with WhatsApp and that users can sell the products, especially users who pay advertising from Facebook.
New ads feature in WhatsApp
After years of being a completely free application, it is expected that in the next WhatsApp update we will see ads while we use the application. Many users are thoughtful about this, as it is believed that the user experience will be greatly reduced with this ad update.
Facebook has been thinking about how to implement this for years, so we hope that the user experience is not so damaged due to the banner ads. We can say that, for example, ads on social networks such as Instagram or Facebook do not harm the user experience almost at all. However, in the case of WhatsApp we will have to wait for the update to be available to understand how this advertising ads will work.

Devices that will not use WhatsApp or its functions in 2021
One of the ads that most worries part of the WhatsApp population is that of the devices that will no longer be available on it. And this time the application service will be released to a complete generation of cell phones. Only with the one who heads the list can we realize the number of cell phones that will not be available with WhatsApp this year 2021. This phone that tops the list is the Samsung Galaxy s2.
What was once one of the greatest innovations is now nothing more than an old memory, in addition to its strong competition, the iPhone 5, WhatsApp will not be available for this year 2021. The interesting thing is that this includes a large number of users current WhatsApp numbers that reach the figures of millions of devices that will no longer have WhatsApp mobile messaging available.
