There are several chat-application across the globe, and we love using all of that for one or another ‘Feature’.

For e.g. Snapchat for its self-destructive message nature, Telegram for its wide range of features like Telegram channel and limitless media transfer, Kik for it’s unique “Bot Systems” but on top of all, WhatsApp is one crucial messaging service that one has to use, no matter where he/she is in world, what age-group he/she belongs. We all love WhatsApp for it’s “Simplicity”.

Simplicity is the soul of WhatsApp. So, as an enthusiastic UX designer and learner, I sketched out some features to add on without compromising it’s simplicity at all.

Here’s have a look.

1. Announcement section in Group Chat

We all love discussing the venue for our next party and gathering, but there’s always some latecomer who asks for party details after those 1178 messages. This feature is for people like this. Here you can add an announcement, reminder, discussion topic, quote of the day and what not! For a limited period of time ranging from one hour to 365 days, you can tag this announcement.

In this feature, there could be one static banner at the top of group chat with details like Announcement, Name(or number) of person who made that, Time of making the announcement, read more(for long writers!) and Edit option. Take note that, all the admin control settings (like only admins can change group info, etc.) could be applied to this feature, too. There could be a strong possibility to make this dynamic where a person can remove it whenever he wants.

Now, it’s easier to plan our trip to Vegas, isn’t it?
