Chat apps integrated with WhatsApp

For almost a year, Meta has been working on integrating messages between different chat apps, and testing for this has begun in the European Union. This is a new feature package that will serve both WhatsApp and Messenger.

Soon, both messengers will bring notifications to alert the user when a new third-party app is online. Another announced function is a flow integration system between platforms with the possibility of creating designated folders for third-party chats.

This will be the first step towards an even more surprising novelty, expected for 2027, which is making audio and video calls between apps.

New emojis arrive to humanize WhatsApp

It doesn’t matter if communication occurs between friends, family, or colleagues... Emojis always appear in the conversation as a way to reinforce feelings and personalize the message.

Extremely popular on WhatsApp, emojis will gain eight more symbols in 2025: exhausted face with dark circles, harp, leafless tree, shovel, fingerprint, a purple splash, and a radish.

Among these novelties, the emoji of exhaustion is the most anticipated. It represents the weight of a day of work and exhaustion... Reflections of an era marked by stress, overload, and lack of rest. The icon awaited by users received a vote of over 60% at the World Emoji Awards.

WhatsApp will stop working on some devices

With the goal of ensuring security and more effective functionalities, WhatsApp will no longer be compatible with devices running version 2.5.0 of KaiOS. This includes phones such as JioPhone, Positivo, Nokia, and Multilaser, which offer more popular smartphone options in the market.

According to WABeta Info, which shares information about the messenger, there are plans for the app to stop requiring users' phone numbers to function. The idea is for WhatsApp to detach from devices, allowing any smartphone with internet access to use the app soon.

The initiative is controversial, as without the phone number in the app, it would become more difficult to contact the phonebook contacts. Additionally, the measure would facilitate the creation of fake profiles with random photos for applying scams and virtual crimes.

This supervision of corporate dialogues is important for controlling the information transmitted by the app, monitoring the conduct and productivity of employees, and identifying points for improvement in the organization’s processes.

Zapper monitors interactions that occur on the company’s WhatsApp, collecting all content and saving information in full, even if someone deletes the message or part of it. The material is automatically stored in the cloud for an indefinite period, with exclusive access for the manager.

Once the data is stored, the platform itself generates analytical reports, as needed by the company. In this way, it is possible to analyze peak message traffic times, most active employees, customer satisfaction levels, main criticisms and suggestions, among other information.
