International.- Whatsapp cannot lose ground against its powers. While it is the messenger most used on the planet, if you cannot innovate, you cannot maintain the leadership. What’s coming: geographical location of the contacts of a group.

The innovation plans of Whatsapp generate expectations among the 1,000 million users of the service (data year 2016). In this case, one of the benefits that are expected to add in the next updates will generate a lot of interest.

The new tool can be configured according to wish or not to display such information and according to the time you want that is available (there are different time intervals available)", published Xabes.

The function could be off by minutes or indefinitely.
