WhatsApp has remained private and easy to use while rolling out several new features to make messaging more personal and engaging. Here’s a roundup of some updates you might have overlooked this year.
Managing contacts is now more efficient with the ability to organize them from WhatsApp Web, Windows, or linked devices. Additionally, saving contacts exclusively to WhatsApp makes switching devices seamless. New features like Custom Lists and Favourites further enhance organization, letting you access your most important chats effortlessly.
The new Events feature enables you to create events, track RSVPs, and receive automatic reminders while details are conveniently available on the group’s information page for quick reference. Meanwhile, video calls now support up to 32 participants and include Filters and Backgrounds to match your mood. With the improved MLow codec, calls now offer better noise and echo cancellation, ensuring clear conversations in noisy settings. Plus, video calls feature higher resolution for faster connections.
One can also discover Channels that align with your interests through categories like People, Organisations, Lifestyle, Sports, Entertainment, Businesses, and News. Liked something? Share it in a chat or post it directly to your Status.
Lastly, easily turn photos into stickers or explore a vast library of GIPHY stickers directly within WhatsApp. Channel creators can now share Voice Updates with followers and assign up to 16 administrators for smoother channel management.
