WhatsApp continues to add new features that slowly amplify the app’s potential. There will be two very important innovations: one of them has been expected by users for some time.

WhatsApp remains the most popular messaging app in the world. In the first half of 2021, also taking into account the restrictions of the Covid pandemic, it was used by no less than 33.1 million people in Italy. A peak of 35 million users was also reached in June, well over half of the population residing in Italy.

Even official data regarding WhatsApp usage confirms that it is the most used messaging app of all time. The average monthly usage in Italy is around 10 hours and 50 minutes per month. The 2022 data for the number of users shows a decline of around 4 million in the first half of the year, confirming the crisis in the use of the application.

Undermining the primacy of WhatsApp is above all Telegram. To which may be added Twitter. Elon Musk explained that he wanted to create a more comprehensive WeChat-style app that could compete with Zuckerberg’s company’s products. To avoid the decline, two more features are on the way from WhatsApp.

Finally, it will be possible to write messages “to yourself” through a chat in which only our account will be present. This function is already present in other applications such as Telegram or Slack, and it turns out to be really useful for those who use it a lot.
