We recently saw how WhatsApp implemented automatic deletion in multimedia messages, but in update 2. 20.203.3, WhatsApp Beta has added some new details that the wabetainfo portal has let us see, in this update we have seen two new functions that , despite being in the beta version of the application, they are not yet available. The functions are

• Join a group call later
• Improvements in biometric unlocking on Android

If you are invited to a group call and at that time you cannot answer it for any reason , the next time you open WhatsApp and if the call is still in progress, you can join it . A very useful option when you get caught in a bad time, whether it is driving, in a meeting or in the bathroom, you can cancel the call and join later . This function is not available yet and we will have to wait for future versions to be implemented.

Another of the new functions to be implemented is the improvement in biometric unlocking , if your Android mobile only has facial recognition, you cannot use the fingerprint lock that is currently implanted WhatsApp, but they are working so that in a next update you can unlock WhatsApp either with your fingerprint or by facial recognition . This feature is now available in the iOS version.

In this way WhatsApp, which continues to be the most used messaging client in Spain to Although Telegram is stepping on it, it adds some very useful functions as well as expected to make it, even more, a better messaging client.
