What would we do without WhatsApp? There's good news for users as there's a trio of new exciting features coming its way. Take a look at the upcoming additions to the messaging platform...

Last Seen: Don't like that people can see your Last Seen? Right now, WhatsApp is testing the ability to hideyour Last Seen status which you can tailor for specific contacts. You'll be able to let some people know when you were last online – but hide it from others.

Customise stickers: Want to create your own stickers? You'll be able to turn your own images into fun stickers and send them on.

Plus, to save space, it will be sent as a sticker and not as an image. Bonus.

Quality increase: At the moment, WhatsApp compresses photos and videos which helps to save space and improve speed. Unfortunately it doesn't benefit the quality. Soon, you should be able to pick if you want to send 'compressed media' or 'best quality'.
