some interesting new features for whatsapp


WhatsApp creates user account in the form of [phone number]@s.whatsapp.net
The service runs a customised version of the open messaging standard XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol), which was first developed for collaboration application Jabber. That's why WhatsApp uses the ID protocol made for Jabber in the form of <[phone number]@s.whatsapp.net>

See when your messages were read
Sent a message and later saw that it has been delivered and read, but you're not sure when? WhatsApp displays a couple of different ticks to tell you about the status of your message. But it also goes one step further and gives you a timeline breakdown on when your message was delivered and read. Just hold on any particular message and choose 'Info'.

Custom notifications for any contact or group
Right now, pretty much every message you get on WhatsApp probably sends the same notification, right? So the only way of knowing if it's something important is to check your phone every time a message comes. But there's a better way of doing things. You can set up custom message sounds, ringtones, vibrating patterns and pop-ups for your WhatsApp contacts and groups, depending on what device you're using. iOS is the more restrictive one, allowing for only sounds and ringtones. On Android, you can do all four - even going so far as to choose any sound file for calls, picking between short or long vibrations, and so on. This means that you can have different notifications for your work groups, your friends, and your family.

Text formatting - bold, italics and strike-through
Since March, WhatsApp for Android and iOS has supportedbasic text formatting as well in quite simple fashion, by enclosing your message in asterisks for bold, underscores for italics, and tildes for strikethrough. You can also combine any of the three for a multi-formatted experience.
