WhatsApp gained a handful of new features this week, including
Photo filters, quick replies, and
Automatic albums in chat threads.
The
Photo Filters in
WhatsApp 2.17.30 are similar to those found in Snapchat and Instagram: users can **w add one of five
Filters to photos, videos, and GIFs before sending, enabling them to enhance the look or correct poor lighting. Pop, black and white, cool, chrome, and film
Filters can be selected with a simple swipe up on the image.

In addition,
WhatsApp **w automatically generates album views when multiple images or videos are sent consecutively in the same chat window, thereby avoiding the usual stream of individual images that clog up a thread.
Elsewhere, users can reply to a specific message in a thread by swiping across it, which takes it to the bottom of the chat window where they can type a response.
WhatsApp says the
Feature is particularly useful during fast-moving group chats when a particular message can get quickly lost higher up the thread.
Finally,
WhatsApp is said to be readying a much-requested hidden "unsend"
Feature in a**ther imminent update to the app.
According to fan site
WABetaInfo,
WhatsApp will enable "Recall" in version 2.17.30+, allowing users to delete texts, images, videos, GIFs, documents, quoted messages, and even Status replies after they have been sent, as long as the Recall
Feature is used within a five-minute window.
WhatsApp is a free download for iPhone from the App Store. [
