WhatsApp has positioned itself as one of the instant messaging applications preferred by users due to the continuous incorporation of new features that are included to meet the needs that arise in its use. This is why it seeks the satisfaction and loyalty of its more than 1,200 million users and that is why we frequently see different updates in the App ..
