Feature that Whatsapp may release sooner to attract the wide group of mobile users

Read Mode for WhatsApp Users:
==================================
Read Mode is one of the most anticipated features on WhatsApp. The feature has been often spotted in the beta versions of the app. The Read Mode inverts the colours to help reduce strain on eyes, especially after sunset. Google has already added the feature on some of its key applications including Chrome browser and YouTube. Apple introduced system-wide Dark Mode with iOS 13.

Instant media edit:
======================
WhatsApp is working on a "Instant Media Edit" feature. Spotted in the recent beta version of the app, the feature allows users to make changes to media files sent or received. Note the feature is different from the existing edit tools that WhatsApp provides. Users can edit the media in-chat and share directly. 

Frequently forwarded:
============================
In a bid to fight fake news and misinformation on its platform, WhatsApp last year added a "forwarded" label on messages that have been forwarded by the sender. 

The company is now going to improve this feature by adding a "frequently forwarded" label. Whatsapp is also working on a new feature that will tell how many times a message has been forwarded. The feature is expected to be part of the info section which tells when the message was delivered and when it was read.

QR code and Contact CAM:
===========================
WhatsApp is making it easier to add a new contact through QR codes and expected to also bring along a feature of recognising Mobile contact using camera. Expected to launch very soon, WhatsApp's QR code is said to be very similar to nametags on Instagram. Each user will receive a unique QR code which can be shared with others. WhatsApp already uses QR code for WhatsApp Web that mirrors the phone version.

However, more than 65 percent of the world’s internet population, approximately 5.3 billion people, face some form of restriction in accessing this global information highway. As an exploratory study, let's uncover which countries impose the harshest internet restrictions and where citizens enjoy the most freedom of online info-access. The Worst Countries for Internet Censorship Surprisingly, not all the usual suspects take the top spots. North Korea, China, and Iran clinch the dubious distinction of having the worst internet censorship, scoring a maximum 11 out of possible 11 points. However, the inclusion of Iran in this group is due to its increased attempts to block VPNs and create a government-monitored VPN scheme. In these three countries, residents are denied access to Western social media, porn, and significant news me...

The sector has already creating jobs and introducing National Digital Communication Policy-2018 and my understanding from the experience with INDIA is that telephones usage should be regulated with respect to age, profession, nature of usage and need. The one and only governmental sector can govern the people activities in through Telecom Industry. The investment towards the sector should be more and expected to be creating jobs in rapid pace.
