The user experience on WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is continually being enhanced by the addition of new features and updates to the mobile, desktop, and mobile versions of the application.
Now is the time to get caught up on the most recent updates and new features that have been added to the quick messaging app, so if you haven’t already done so, get started!
Some features of WhatsApp are still in the process of being developed and are not yet available to all of the testers. However, some of them are already available to the testers of beta, and the users may catch them gradually.
In the event that you are not able to use a particular feature, you will need to wait for an upcoming update of the app in order to gain access to it.
This is a rundown of the recent new features and updates that have been added.
Kept Messages
In the chat information, WhatsApp will soon include a section of kept messages, as the company recently announced. With the help of this feature, users are able to prevent their messages from being removed from the chat, ensuring that they are visible to all participants.
Kept messages will be available in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android 2.23.4.10 when the update is released.
Log of Official Changes
This messaging app has been made available on the Google Play Store and the official changelog describes the new features that are now accessible to Android users.
Avatars, document captions, extended descriptions, group subjects, and the capacity of sharing up to 100 different types of media within conversations are some of the features that are included here.
Avatar
The avatar sticker pack is getting an overhaul, and WhatsApp has announced that it will be expanding the number of stickers available for both the iOS and Android versions of WhatsApp as part of this latest update.
The latest update has added, “more personality and depth by revamping and replacing certain stickers to increase their aesthetic appeal and guarantee that they reflect the varied range of expressions and emotions that users seek to transmit more personality and depth by replacing and redesigning some stickers.”
Picture-in-picture mode
Through the updated version of 23.3.77 that is available currently on the App Store, WhatsApp has provided users of iOS with the ability to utilise the picture-in-picture mode for video calls.
Users will be able to perform multiple tasks simultaneously while on a WhatsApp call without having to pause the video they are watching.
A Sheet for the Presentation
A sheet of presentation that enables users to share files of up to 2GB in size has also been added to WhatsApp’s repertoire of features. This feature will become available in the upcoming update for iOS 23.3.0.76.
Business Communities
In an upcoming update, the Business WhatsApp app will support community features, which will make it much simpler to administer connected groups at the same time.
In the upcoming update for Android 2.23.4.14 of WhatsApp beta, this will be available. It gives companies the ability to establish, manage, and utilise communities.
Option for Sharing Attachments
The Windows version of WhatsApp now has a new option for sharing attachments, which is one of the new features that WhatsApp has introduced. Users will be able to quickly share videos and images from within the file explorer as a result of this.
