While maintaining its private and easy-to-use nature, WhatsApp has introduced several features to make messaging more personal and fun.
Here are some helpful features that might have slipped under your radar this year.
Organize Like a Pro
You can now manage contacts from WhatsApp Web, Windows, or other linked devices. Additionally, the option to save contacts exclusively to WhatsApp ensures seamless transitions when switching devices.
WhatsApp also introduced Custom Lists and Favourites, helping you organize and access your most important chats effortlessly.
Staying Close Is Even Easier (and More Fun 🥳)
The new Events feature allows users to create events, track RSVPs, and receive automatic reminders. Event details are always accessible in the group’s information page, so you have them at your fingertips.
Video calls now support up to 32 participants, and you can even enhance your experience with Filters and Backgrounds that match your mood.
WhatsApp also improved call reliability with the MLow codec. Calls on mobile devices now feature improved noise and echo cancellation, while video calls deliver higher resolution for users with faster connections.
Follow What Matters Most to You
You can now discover Channels that match your interests by exploring Channel Categories such as People, Organizations, Lifestyle, Sports, Entertainment, Businesses, and News.
If you like what you see, you can forward it to a chat or share it directly to your Status.
Express Yourself in New Ways
Turn your photos into stickers or explore a massive library of GIPHY stickers directly on WhatsApp! Channel creators can now share Voice Updates with their followers, a feature that has quickly gained popularity.
Each Channel also supports up to 16 administrators, making it easier to start and manage your Channel.
