Experimental Features

Experimental features are features that require the use of WhatsApp's underlying API and hence are not always stable.

• Current available experimental features include: Online Indicator, Quick Replies
  • The Online Indicator feature displays a small green indicator near the photos of any chat in the sidebar that is currently online.
  • The Quick Replies feature allows you to set up quick replies above the message box so you don't have to manually type common replies.
• To use these experimental features, turn on the Experimental Features toggle in your current tab settings or when adding a new tab, and select which features you want.

P.S: Since these are experimental features, they are prone to breaking without notice. In such a case, please file a bug report.

v3.10.0

Changelog:

Settings

• You can now reset settings to default.
• You can now import settings from a JSON file.
• You can now export settings to a JSON file.

Accessibility

• Use Ctrl+Tab or Cmd+Tab to switch to the next tab.
• Use Ctrl+Shift+Tab or Cmd+Shift+Tab to switch to the previous tab.
• Use Ctrl+W or Cmd+W to close the active/current tab.
• Use Ctrl+E or Ctrl+E to edit the active/current tab.
• UI is more keyboard-friendly now. You can use Tab to traverse through almost all of the UI.

UI

• A lot of the UI has been revamped to make it more look modern.
• Settings use toggles instead of ugly buttons.

Others

• Fixed issue where app would only close to tray even when option was disabled.

v3.9.0

CHANGELOG:

• Add "Close to Tray" setting as suggested by #54. (Not available on the Linux version as it does not support tray icons)
• Altus validates if all settings are present & adds new ones if they're not already available. This should make it easier to add new settings in future.
• Remove online indicator & custom notifications as they have higher chances of breaking in future.
