WhatsApp is a great example of what users want in a mobile app. It’s easy to use, has a very clear value proposition as an instant message platform, is loaded with features for multimedia and group communication, and for 900 million users it has become one of the most convenient ways to communicate in a cheap, fast and effective way.There are some people however, who have decided to look beyond all this and add more functionality to WhatsApp. A group from India created a WhatsApp bot which allows its users to access certain services ordinarily accessible on the internet only and not through WhatsApp.Through the bot users can search for content on Wikipedia, access some news articles and even engage in simple mobile quizzes. To access the bot users need to save any one of a list of specific phone numbers and add this number to a new or existing WhatsApp group.
How It WorksIt’s lazily simple, save this contact on your phone “+917823996739” then head over to Whatsapp. Then just go the Group you wish to add it to (you should be an Admin of the group to be able to add contacts to the group) and add the above number as a group member. After successful adding to group, make a search like this “Wiki Car”, then watch it pop.
PS: When searching use Wiki + keyword e.g Wiki machining
Other FeaturesUse *info to get all information about the Bot and other services. To start a game, trivia to be precise type Jumble.
A Geek Who Program, Blog, Hack, reads a lot and LOOPS the whole process for a living. Yeah! That's me.
