Facebook has implemented video chatting in Messenger Lite, a slimmed down version of Messenger for Android that offers the core features of the app while giving everyone the opportunity to stay connected to their friends and family, intended for people with older Android devices and/or slower Internet connections.
WhatsApp is limiting its users from forwarding single messages no more than five times, in an attempt to stop the spread of fake news through the messaging platform. The service, which had allowed users to forward messages up to 20 times, announced the new policy in Jakarta, Indonesia where the country is holding its general elections.
WhatsApp has launched a new update for Android which brings support for call waiting, new privacy settings and more. The biggest feature is obviously the new call waiting feature, although the company has skipped adding call holding for this release.
