WhatsApp is a popular messaging app that has been introducing new updates and features for its users on Android, iOS, and desktop. While facing competition from other free messaging apps, WhatsApp is continuously trying to improve its features. Some of these updates are still under development and may be gradually rolled out to users.
One of the new features announced is for status updates. Users can now select a private audience, use voice status, and react to statuses. Additionally, they can use status profile rings and preview rich links on Status.
WhatsApp has also increased the media limit for sharing photos and videos from 30 to 100, and beta testers for iOS and Android can take advantage of this update.
The messaging app has also introduced voice note transcription, which makes it easier for users to read transcriptions of voice notes if they are unable to listen to them.
WhatsApp is also working on a scheduling calls feature, which will allow group members to plan their schedules accordingly. However, this feature is still under development and will be released in a future update.
The app has also addressed an issue with the emoji keyboard, which could appear transparent in Android. In addition, users can now send high-quality photos in their original quality or compressed to save storage.
WhatsApp has also introduced a status profile ring to indicate new updates, and users can now share link previews on status updates. These features are available on the Android, iOS, and desktop versions of the app.
