WhatsApp launched an official chat where users can receive the latest information about the app, including updates and tips on how to use it. The chat is marked with a green badge, providing users with a way to verify that the account is legitimate. This week, some random people on WhatsApp for iOS and Android received the first message from the official chat, informing them about disappearing messages!

WhatsApp has announced new features for groups, including enhanced controls for group admins to manage privacy and a feature that makes it easier to identify groups that users share with their contacts. These features are available on both Android and iOS and are gradually rolling out to users over the coming weeks.
