iPhone users can finally send WhatsApp messages offline

Haven't you heard? Offline is the new online... well, sort of.
On Monday, WhatsApp, the popular Facebook-owned messenger, welcomed iOS users to the world of offline messaging.
The app's latest iOS update allows iPhone users to engage in offline message queueing, so they can prep messages to send while they're waiting for a connection and quickly keep their conversations going when they regain one.

Users can now tap "send" on multiple written messages when they don't have a wireless connection, and once a connection is reestablished, those queued messages will be sent automatically.
It's a helpful feature, especially when you're stuck on the subway or walking through a dead zone.
While Business Insider reported the ability to queue messages offline has been available on Android devices since at least June 2016, the send button was simply disabled for WhatsApp users on iOS devices without a wireless connection.
In addition to the offline feature, the update includes a redesigned storage usage screen and the ability to send up to 30 photos or video at once. 
Users of the app are now able to manage their phone's storage space by clearing certain messages types. Videos, for example, can now be deleted from specific message threads by simply visiting the Settings tab, selecting "Data and Storage Usage" and then, "Storage Usage

HIGHLIGHTS The feature is still being tested in the Android beta The latest WhatsApp beta lets you pin chats on top A maximum of three chats can be pinned WhatsApp has  reportedly  been testing many new features recently to make chats more fun and convenient, and another such feature has come to light. The new  WhatsApp  feature allows users to pin conversations with their favourite contacts to the top to the Chats tab.

WhatsApp adds GIF search through Giphy, raises maximum media sharing limit from 10 to 30

WhatsApp's ability to send GIFs in different forms and ways has been rolling out super slowly. First we could  convert videos and share them as GIFs , then the beta app let us  share GIFs saved on our devices , then the Web client added support for GIF search and insertion, and now finally the last piece of the puzzle is here: we can now search for, choose, and send GIFs from the WhatsApp app on our Android phones, no need for a separate Giphy client, the GBoard app, or to have the GIFs saved on our phones beforehand. The function shows up when you tap the emoji button in WhatsApp's text box. There's a new bottom bar that lets you switch between emoji to GIF. You can then scroll through popular GIFs and insert them right away or search Giphy for a keyword to find the appropriate animation for your current state.   Regardless of how late this feature has been implemented, it is positively awesome. Case in point:   Another change showing in the WhatsApp app is t

Treachery at the MRC: Exasperated Alain Fogue exposed the dirty game of the CPDM

In a new outing, the national treasurer of the MRC denounces the CPDM spies who are gnawing at his party, the MRC. If Alain Fogue is to be believed, Maurice Kamto's party would have had RDPC figures among its ranks, whose sole mission is to "betray the liberation struggle of Cameroon embodied today by President-elect Maurice Kamto". The same process would have been used by the party of Paul Biya with the SDF. For Professor Fogue, these CPDM snitches are today in difficulty for not having succeeded in their mission. "These APs are now back to the wall" can be read in the publication of Alain Fogue.  Below, the whole of his post  [WHY TRY THE STRUGGLE OF LIBERATION OF THE PEOPLE CAMEROUNAIS THAT INCLUDES TODAY THE PRESIDENT ELECTED MAURICE KAMTO?  Tackling one of the oldest and most ferocious dictatorships in the world, which has also taken out political life insurance with certain powers, is no easy task.  Many took place on the Renaissance trai
