WhatsApp’s Latest Update Makes Staying Connected Easier Than Ever: Here's How
This update includes missed call messages, festive Status stickers, improved Meta AI image generation, and several other enhancements designed to streamline communication during the festive season.
WhatsApp is rolling out a new bundle of features just in time for the holidays, making it simpler and more fun to connect with friends and family. This update includes missed call messages, festive Status stickers, improved Meta AI image generation, and several other enhancements designed to streamline communication during the festive season.
Catch Up on Missed Calls
If you miss a call during the busy holiday period, WhatsApp now lets you record a voice or video note in one tap, depending on the call type. This new feature replaces traditional voicemail, making it easy for recipients to listen to or watch your message at their convenience.
Livelier Voice and Video Chats
Voice chats now support reactions, so you can send a quick “cheers!” without interrupting the conversation. On group video calls, the speaker is automatically spotlighted, helping everyone keep up with who’s talking.
Smarter Chats and Status Updates
Meta AI’s image generation capabilities have been upgraded, allowing users to create more impressive holiday greetings for chats and Status. You can now animate any photo into a short video, adding extra fun to your messages or Status posts.
A new media tab on desktop organises your documents, links, and media in one place, making it easier to find files and boost productivity on Mac, Windows, and Web. Link previews have also been improved, with long URLs streamlined to keep chats clean and flowing.
Expressive Stickers and Interactive Status
WhatsApp has added more ways to express yourself on Status, including music lyrics, questions, and interactive stickers. These new stickers allow friends to respond and engage, making your Status more interactive and festive.
Questions on Channels
Admins on WhatsApp Channels can now add questions to spark real-time engagement and get instant responses from their audience.
