NEW UPDATE
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.23.1.73 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a feature to allow users to pin messages in their chats and groups. We have also announced a feature to set the view once option to voice messages, adding a new layer of privacy as they cannot be saved, forwarded, and exported. A few hours ago, WhatsApp has released the 23.25.79 update for iOS on the App Store. Thanks to the official changelog, we discovered that WhatsApp is finally rolling out these features to everyone with the latest update!
The official changelog mentions that WhatsApp is releasing a feature to pin messages in group chats for all current members. With this feature, users are granted precise control over the duration for which a message remains prominently displayed in their chats, as they can choose from three distinct durations: 24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days. It's important to note that users have the flexibility to dismiss a pinned message at any time, even before the chosen duration elapses.
With this update, WhatsApp is also rolling out a feature to check the connection health during a video call. To get started, simply long press your tile to reveal a real-time feedback on the quality of your video call connection. Another important addition to the platform is the ability to send voice messages with the "view once" option enabled, so the recipient cannot share, forward, copy, save, or record it. This enhancement adds an extra layer of privacy and security to voice messages, ensuring that the shared content remains exclusive to the recipient for a single opening.
If you don't have one of these features, note that some accounts may receive them over the coming weeks, as indicated in the official changelog. Please stay ahead by regularly updating WhatsApp from the App Store and the TestFlight app to get these features in the future in case you don't have them after installing this update.
Pinned messages, a connection health feature for video calls, and a "view once" option for voice messages are available for iOS users who install the latest update of WhatsApp from the App Store. Make sure to install this update to enjoy a better user experience.
