WHATSAPP NEWS OF THE WEEK
- A new feature to add a message to any forwarded content has been released to some beta testers who install the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.25.3 update. This feature allows users to include a custom message alongside forwarded content, providing context or explanations without the need to navigate back to the chat to send a separate message.
- With the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.25.2 update, WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to share sticker packs. Some beta testers can access this feature by opening the sticker picker and selecting a new three-dot menu option available for each sticker pack. This menu provides the option to share the sticker pack directly with the current conversation or remove it from the personal collection.
- The same feature regarding the ability to share sticker pack has also been released with the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.24.10.72 update. This ensures a consistent experience across different platforms.
- In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.24.30 update, we announced that WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to bring a new light and dark main theme color to the business app. This update introduces a black accent color for the light theme and a white accent color for the dark theme, replacing the previous light blue accents. It also ensures that users who frequently switch between the two apps can easily identify the Business app, thanks to its unique color scheme and updated branding.
- After installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.25.7 update, some beta testers can explore a new feature that allows them to share their channels using QR codes.

- The feature to share and export the channel QR code is also available to some beta testers who install the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.24.10.76 update from the TestFlight app. This feature allows iOS users to generate a unique QR code for their channels, which can be shared digitally or printed for offline use, offering a versatile way to invite others to follow the channel.
- The WhatsApp for iOS 24.24.77 update introduces the ability to filter chats using custom lists, allowing users to organize conversations into categories such as work, family, or projects for easier navigation.
