WhatsApp this week: Last seen and privacy settings glitch, Pay update, and more

WhatsApp was a week old! Instant messaging applications suffered a rare outage that affected the “last seen” and “privacy settings” features.
In another development, WhatsApp showed its readiness to launch a payment service in India. This week you might have remembered everything about WhatsApp.
Rare outage
Late on Friday, many WhatsApp users faced problems with the “last seen” feature on the app. Users also complained that they were unable to change privacy settings.
Due to the glitch, your ‘last seen’ status can be changed to ‘Nobody’ for affected users. If users try to change it manually, an error appears in the privacy settings.
Soon, users took to social networking platforms to report the problem. The outage persisted for a few hours when the app started on Saturday.
Such glitches are very common for Internet services. WhatsApp users have suffered a major outage in the past. Unlike the application going down completely, the new glitch affected privacy features – which was the first for WhatsApp.
On WhatsApp Pay
WhatsApp’s long-awaited payment service 8 “WhatsApp Pay” has been in beta phase since February 2018. Since launch, WhatsApp Pay has faced several compliance issues. The company recently told the Supreme Court of India that WhatsApp was fully compliant with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp has rolled out WhatsApp in Brazil. “We are making it easier to send and receive money for photo sharing.
We are also enabling small businesses to make sales within WhatsApp, ”Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a post.
voice message
WhatsApp came a little late to feature voice messaging. Since its debut, the layout has not changed much. WABetainfo published a concept image, which envisions a voice message head.
It is said that WhatsApp helps users browse the app as the audio plays in the background.
Whatsapp web
WhatsApp is testing dark themes for desktop users. According to one of the recent beta updates, WhatsApp Web will receive a different dark theme using optional dark colors.
Dark mode fix
WhatsApp is reportedly working on an update to fix Dark Mode on Android. The new color scheme is said to be better compatible with lower quality displays on Android phones. The update may have a bubble color for dark mode.
