Latest WhatsApp Beta News and Feature Updates

When someone pins a message in a chat or group, everyone else finds out only when they open the conversation. WhatsApp is now changing that with a dedicated notification that appears as soon as someone pins a message. The notification shows the content of the pinned message directly, so users know what it says without opening the chat.

WhatsApp is developing a new section that shows when a contact's birthday is coming up. The update will make it easier for users to keep track of their contacts' birthdays directly from WhatsApp. When it is someone's birthday, users may receive a notification directly within the app.

WhatsApp is rolling out new features that make it easier for users to manage their conversations on Wear OS. Users can now start new chats, mark them as read or unread, pin, archive, and mute them directly from the watch. With this update, users no longer need their phone for any of these actions.

WhatsApp is introducing a new interface where users can quickly choose whether to use their Android tablet as the primary device or link it as a secondary one. The feature makes it faster for users to switch their primary device directly from the setup screen. Users can still choose to link the tablet as a secondary device from the new interface.
