Features Whatsapp should add to the 'Product Roadmap'



Whatsapp may think of adding below features in its Roadmap:


upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/...
1. Keywords based blocking of messages: Allow 'group admin' to define keywords such that users will be blocked from sending forwards or messages that contain keywords.

2. Intelligent program to categorize messages as religious, political or sexual: Based on users preference such messages of a particular category should be removed from visibility of user.

3. Remove the "Forwarded" tagging from the message: It is highly misleading as the app still allows user to copy a forwarded message and paste it on a new window as if he has typed all of it.
"Forwarded" tagging on wishes makes them of garbage value to recipient.

4. Minimum and maximum messages limit for a period: This will be applicable to Whatsapp groups!! This feature will allow admin to set minimum number of messages the user is supposed to send in a day to be qualified as an active member. This will inturn keep the conversation going and the groups will remain active.
Similarly, to restrict 'uninteresting' chats flowing on the group; admin should be allowed to set maximum number of messages a member can send. Thus restricting members from adding too many of unwanted messages in the group.

5. Real Emoji Mode: After switching on this mode user will be forced to enact an emoji on camera if he wants to send that emoji. Imagine the number of smiles Whatsapp might create!
