Hello, tech enthusiasts! Buckle up, because WhatsApp is back with some super cool updates meant to enrich our chatting experience.
First up, let’s talk about the fresh ‘Online’ indicator that now graces the top of group chats. This nifty feature lets you see how many pals are online and ready to chat!
Next, WhatsApp has made it easier to manage notifications in group chats. You can now opt for ‘Notify for’ settings and select ‘Highlights’ to limit notifications to essentials like @mentions and messages from your top contacts.
On the document front, if you’re an iPhone user, you can scan and send documents directly in WhatsApp. Just pick ‘scan document’ from the attachment options, follow a few easy steps, and you’re all set!
In video call news, WhatsApp claims improvements in call reliability and quality, addressing common issues like dropped calls and freezing videos. Plus, there’s now pinch-to-zoom during video calls on iPhones!
Group event planning just got an upgrade! Now, you can create events not only in group chats but also in 1:1 conversations. Features like ‘maybe’ RSVPs and the ability to add a plus one make it even more user-friendly.
Lastly, WhatsApp’s channels are evolving with options for admins to share short video updates, unique QR codes for easy access, and written summaries of voice message notifications to keep you informed on the go.
