WHATSAPP NEWS OF THE WEEK
- With the WhatsApp beta for iOS 25.2.10.76 update, WhatsApp is now rolling out the ability to open view once media on linked devices for iOS beta testers, following the earlier release on Android. This update enhances multi-device functionality by allowing users to access view once images, videos, and voice messages directly from their linked devices, without needing to switch back to their primary phone. While the initial restriction may have been privacy-driven, WhatsApp maintains security measures such as end-to-end encryption and restrictions on exporting or forwarding content, ensuring a balance between usability and privacy.
- In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.3.10 update, we discovered that WhatsApp is developing a feature that allows users to add sticker photos to status updates, enabling them to overlay multiple images in a single post for a more creative presentation. This feature will also support videos, letting users enhance their clips with additional images in various resizable and movable sticker formats, including square, circular, and star-shaped designs. With this feature, WhatsApp aims to offer a more personalized and dynamic way to share moments in the future, similar to Instagram Stories.
- Thanks to the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.3.12 update, we discovered that WhatsApp is developing a feature that will allow users to edit album captions within 15 minutes of sending them. This feature is going to offer more flexibility in correcting typos or adding missing details, as users will no longer need to delete and resend the entire album just to modify the caption. Currently, album captions cannot be modified after being sent due to the platform's distinct album management system. This update will improve clarity in chats and group conversations, eliminating the need to delete and resend entire albums just to make caption adjustments in the future.
- WhatsApp is testing a new shortcut in the overflow menu that allows beta testers to create a community directly from the chats tab, as mentioned in the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.3.15 update. This update is part of a broader effort to introduce multiple entry points for community creation, ensuring easy access even as WhatsApp experiments with replacing the Communities tab with an AI-powered chatbots tab in a future update.
- After installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.3.17 update, some beta testers can explore a new feature that allows them to indicate whether they will bring guests when responding to event invitations. The event creator can enable or disable this option, offering greater flexibility in planning while maintaining control over attendance. We explained that his feature is particularly useful for social gatherings, professional meetings, and inclusive events, ensuring organizers can make necessary arrangements based on the expected number of attendees.
- The WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.3.17 update introduced a new feature allowing users to specify if they plan to bring a guest when responding to event invitations. However, this update also caused widespread crashes when opening chats, using the search bar, or sharing content from other apps. A bug fix has since been released in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.3.21 update, restoring normal functionality. Beta testers experiencing crashes should install this latest update from the Google Play Store to resolve the issue.
