Whatsapp is introducing new features time to time to its messaging client. Today Whatsapp brought another new feature message quotes and replies to its Beta version.

While chatting with your friends, if you tap on any particular message, you can get “reply” option on the top of the screen which allows you “reply” to that particular message only.

Till now, if somebody is typing questions in a sequence, the answers we give to those questions are placed below the entire conversation. With the latest option in Whatsapp, we can answer any question by quoting it which will be clearer to the both parties participating in the conversation.

Message Quotes and Replies feature is now available on Whatsapp Beta 2.16.118 version. If you are not a part of Whatsapp Beta, you can sign up for the Beta releases on Google Play Store to get new features in advance.

Once the opposite person receives your reply, the reply will display with quoted text or video to which you are responding. In Group chats each participant gets unique color, so by using Quoted replies it will become easier to differentiate who answered to what message.

A lot of spam messages with social engineering characteristics are circulating on Whatsapp. Few days back people believed Whatsapp Video calling spam and shared the malicious links without any further thinking about the security. Now another spam is widely circulating through Whatsapp i.e. “Whatsapp Golden Version” scam.

The scammer claims that the Whatsapp Gold Version was only available to the Top celebrities earlier, and the same Gold version with extra features is accessible to the limited set of the users right now. The Scammer grabs the Whatsapp users’ attention by promising exciting news features such as sending hundreds of photos at once, video calling, new emojis, and powerful security.

The entire scam hides in a simple text message with a hyperlink to the Whatsapp Gold version. Once the victim clicks the link, then it redirects to another malicious website which offers Whatsapp Gold download. Finally, the downloaded malware application steals your personal data from your phone.

So rethink twice before circulating such spam messages that redirect to unknown sites. There will be few people in our circle who don’t have sufficient technical knowledge. Sharing malicious content troubles their phones and valuable data.
