WhatsApp adds voice mail


The hugely popular WhatsApp is slowing evolving into a fully-featured messaging service. The latest additions in terms of functionality, now rolling out to the beta version of the app, are a brand new voicemail feature and the ability to use monospace text formatting.
We first heard about voicemail and call-back support in , when text related to the featuresWhatsApp a few months ago , showed up in translation requests.
Now the feature is going live for beta users. Here’s how it works: if you call someone on WhatsApp and the other person doesn’t pick up or declines the call, you will see a screen that lets you quickly call back or record and send a voice message. The ability to send voice messages isn’t new, but now WhatsApp is integrating it in the calling interface, bringing the app closer to the way a conventional phone call works.
Next, WhatsApp is adding a new text formatting option, monospace text. We’re not sure there are lots of users who were eagerly anticipating this new text style, but the trick to activate it is to add three accent symbols (`) before the text. 
The WhatsApp beta program is hosted in the Play Store, and you can join it from here. Let us know what you think of the new features.

That's because photos are processed by the app's remote servers, as opposed to your phone, in order to bring the full force of cloud-based AI to your images. For that reason, Prisma can become slow during peak times — like right now, when the app has just been opened up to hundreds of millions of new users. Nevertheless, Prisma is a unique app that's capable of producing some truly remarkable images, and it's definitely worth a look if you're a keen Android photographer. If you're trying out Prisma on Android today, be sure ...
