WhatsApp getting updated with a myriad of new features including custom notifications

WhatsApp is gearing up to send an update to the Android version of its popular IM client, which will bring improved notifications handling to the fore. Apart from being able to mark messages as unread (as rumored before), users will now get an extensive menu to handle notifications from specific contacts.

This feature allows you to have a custom notification tone for each contact or group, which will help you distinguish between important and unnecessary messages.

The 'Mark as unread' setting can be obtained by long pressing on a conversation from the Chats menu. This is merely a self reminding feature if you want to read a conversation sometime later. The feature doesn't in any away impact the messages that your contacts might have already read.

In addition to these features, WhatsApp is also adding a low data usage setting to voice calls, which will ensure that minimal data is used while making voice calls on the app. It's a good feature to have, especially if you rely on WhatsApp voice calling while on the go.

It seems like the update is limited to Android for the time being, but it goes without saying that an iOS version is in development as well. Although the update notification is yet to go live on Android, users can grab the apk file manually from APK Mirror (link below).
