Whatsapp will block accounts that do any of these things

-

Whatsapp is a messaging applicatio­n that millions use every day. As it is one of the main channels of communicat­ion, it is essential that it is always working, so it is not too bad to know what things could be a reason for Meta to deactivate an account.

It is better to take into account the aspects that Meta considers to deactivate an account, since it could be more difficult to run out of Whatsapp than without Facebook for 30 days.

- If the account has been inactive for more than 120 days in a row, it is likely that it can no longer be used after that time and a new one will have to be opened.

- The account could also not be used if the user uses unauthoriz­ed or modified applicatio­ns such as Whatsapp Plus or GB Whatsapp.

- If the account is used to spam continuous­ly, it will most likely be unsubscrib­ed. Spam is considered as lists of disseminat­ion or creation of groups to send messages continuous­ly where there are contacts that the sender does not have in his agenda.

- Meta may also consider sufficient reason to cancel the account if it notices that the user has been blocked several times in less than a day.

- Since it is also fighting misinforma­tion, if it detects that a user is spreading fake news in several groups, it could deactivate the account.

- Finally, if documents that are related to modified programs are shared, Meta may also choose to close the account.

Fortunatel­y, you can now use the player in the background. This means that users can do other things in the app while listening to what is sent to them, or also what is received. For example, you will be able to write to a chat to respond to something urgent without having to stop playing the audio from another chat.

This means that the classic audio player abandons being anchored in a chat, whether individual or group, to become its own global element in the applicatio­n. That way, it can be used independen­tly at any time within the applicatio­n owned by Meta.

In fact, in addition to being able to use this new option to listen to the voice memos that are received, it is possible to do the same with any audio file sent by contacts. As a result, music can also be listened to with the new version of the Whatsapp player.

This, which has not yet received special attention, could mean new functions for the future, such as greater compatibil­ity and capabiliti­es when managing multimedia content on the terminal.

It's really not complicate­d at all. Thus, by simply clicking on the file in question or on the audio message, playback begins. Now the player appears at the top of the Whatsapp user interface.

And, to determine what is being heard, the name of the person who sent it or the name of the audio file appears. With this operation, nothing bothers when it comes to navigating through the other options of the app; that's what it's all about.

As mentioned, this new feature is available in the beta version of Whatsapp for Android (2.22.7.11), so it is not available to everyone at this time. The latter will be out shortly, probably next month, as it is already working on IOS.
