Links in WhatsApp statuses will change their appearance, how?

Although they are not one of the most used things Whats up, states has been an option for users for a while now. The truth is, at least in Spain, they didn’t particularly take off, but it’s still an interesting option to show what’s going on in a different way every time. Well, it is known that a change is being prepared in the application that will completely affect them.

As explained, one of the things that can be shared will change the way it is viewed by users: Links. This is an option that allows this type of content to be viewed with or without a background image – so it can be used and accessed by a YouTube hosted video or a traditional page that might be interesting for what it offers. And the truth is that what is seen is positive, everything needs to be said.

What will be the new way to see links

What has been shown so far has been pretty boring, even sad, from an aesthetic point of view. You just see the address in plain text, followed by a small preview at the bottom of the screen that doesn’t add much to the reality. As you can see in the picture we left after this paragraph, things are changing radically because text loses its importance versus visual content.

box preview gains a lot in size and therefore the information it contains can be evaluated quite well and also the data of the accessed website itself can be read more easily. You won’t miss the always handy close button, and of course the exact address is now just below, which makes much more sense (because it’s less important and informative). Come on, WhatsApp is a success, and no doubt it will give a new vibe to the states when a website is shared… What is missing.

Reach everyone on WhatsApp

As always in the news of the messaging application, this new function comes into play first. trial version to make sure everything is working as it should and then it will be distributed to other users. When will this happen? Well, it remains to be seen, but since it’s a non-critical change, it shouldn’t take long for it to become a reality in both iOS and Android versions. It seems clear that with this change, WhatsApp remains committed to governments. And so it’s possible that more news will come throughout the year to improve them.
