Ahead of the busy holiday season, WhatsApp is rolling out a substantial update focused on keeping users seamlessly connected and enhancing creative expression. The new features span calls, Meta AI tools, and Status/Channel interactions, aiming to improve communication even amidst the festive rush.
A significant upgrade targets calls, specifically when a call is missed. Instead of a traditional voicemail, users can now leave a quick voice or video note with a single tap, which is automatically configured to match the original call type. This new mechanism simplifies reconnecting without the need for a follow-up text or repeated attempts to call.
Voice chats within groups are also receiving functional
improvements. Participants can now use in-chat reactions, allowing for swift
acknowledgement or expressions like “cheers!” without interrupting the
conversation with spoken words. Furthermore, video gatherings will now
automatically prioritize and highlight the person who is actively speaking,
ensuring better visual clarity during group discussions.
The Meta AI integration has been upgraded to boost creative
tools for chats. The image generator now utilizes advanced model capabilities
from partners like Midjourney and Flux, enabling users to create more polished,
high-quality graphics for holiday cards and Status posts directly within the app.
Users can also instantly turn any photograph into a short, animated clip,
adding a playful, seasonal touch to their messages.
Finally, the new update streamlines the user experience on desktop and web versions by introducing a consolidated media tab. This centralized view brings all documents, images, videos, and links shared across chats into a single, easily trackable location. Additionally, long URLs are now automatically displayed in a clean, compact format to prevent message clutter. For Status and Channels, the platform added fresh interactive stickers, music lyrics integration, and a feature for Channel owners to post questions to their audience for real-time feedback.
