WhatsApp update FINALLY allows you to send messages offline - here’s how you can do it

A NEW feature will FINALLY allow iPhone WhatsApp users to send messages when there’s no mobile signal.

In an eagerly-awaited update for Apple iOS, people will now be able to send messages even when they don’t have a connection.

These messages will be queued and sent as soon as the signal returns in the same way as emails, texts and Facebook Messenger.

More than a billion people use hugely popular messaging service every month.

iPhone users can take advantage of the feature by installing the latest version of WhatsApp (2.17.1) on their handsets.

This iOS update will also allow you to send up to 30 photos or videos at once, when the limit was previously 10, and a new ‘storage usage’ screen will make it easier to free up space on your phone by deleting messages.

Android users are already able to queue WhatsApp messages, according to a forum on AskDifferent
