WhatsApp will finally bring the view-once option to text messages on iPhone, extending a feature that already exists for photos, videos, and voice notes. Once available, users will be able to send text messages that become inaccessible after the recipient reads them once. The feature will also prevent these messages from being forwarded or saved for added privacy.

Timing your messages just right is about to get a lot easier in your conversations. WhatsApp is working on a scheduled messages feature for iPhone that will let you compose a message and deliver it later, at a date and time of your choice. The feature will work in both chats and groups, and it comes with a dedicated section to manage and delete scheduled messages before they are sent.

WhatsApp announced an important change for iPhone users, and that will affect how you access the app in the future. Starting November 30, 2026, WhatsApp will only work on devices with iOS 15.5 or newer. The update will impact all users with an iPhone that runs a version of iOS older than 15.5, including those using WhatsApp Business.

WhatsApp released the multiple accounts feature on iOS, making it easier for users to manage more than one account on the same iPhone. The update allows user to switch between their accounts and keep their chats, notifications, and settings separate. It introduces a more flexible way to separate conversations without needing the business app.

WhatsApp is testing new chat lists that expand how users can organize their conversations in a future update. These preset filters will let users sort their conversations into dedicated chat lists for easier access. The update will enhance navigation in the Chats tab by refining its structure.
