WHATSAPP NEWS OF THE WEEK
- We announced that WhatsApp is actively working on bringing the custom chat lists feature to the web client, making it easier for users to create chat filters effortlessly between the mobile app and WhatsApp Web. With real-time synchronization and privacy-focused design, users will be able to organize their conversations efficiently, whether for personal or business purposes.
- In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.23.10.73 update, we announced that WhatsApp is developing a new "Add Yours" sticker for the drawing editor to enhance the status feature with interactive and engaging prompts. This sticker will allow users to set themes, questions, or activities for their contacts to respond to in the future.
- In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.24.12 update, we announced that WhatsApp is exploring a new feature to introduce vibrant, themed icons for contacts, group chats, and communities. These colorful icons will replace the current grey placeholders for users without profile photos, making it easier to distinguish chats at a glance and providing a more visually engaging experience in the future.
- After installing the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.23.10.76 update, some beta testers can experiment with a new feature that allows them to quickly add captions to GIFs directly from the picker. This update simplifies the process of adding context or personalization to GIFs and introduces editing options, such as trimming, to enhance customization and improve the overall user experience.
- Thanks to the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.24.9 update, some beta testers can explore a revamped gallery interface that simplifies the process of selecting and sharing photos and videos. This update introduces features like multi-selection directly from the gallery, support for captions on albums, and improved album grouping for a cleaner chat experience. Additionally, the update enhances efficiency by skipping the drawing editor for quicker sharing while still offering the option to edit media when needed.
- With the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.24.10 update, WhatsApp provides clearer explanations about how muting group chats works, ensuring users understand that certain notifications, like mentions, may still be delivered even when a group is muted.
- To ensure a consistent experience across platforms, the new notification activity feature is also available to some beta testers who install the WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.23.10.75 update. This ensures that both Android and iOS users can manage group chat notifications more effectively, focusing on "Highlights" like mentions and replies while reducing unnecessary alerts.
- In the article covering the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.24.14 update, we highlighted a revamped interface for the communities tab that offers a cleaner and more user-friendly design. This update introduces a compact layout, a dedicated button to view all group chats within a community, and a floating action button for creating new communities.
- A gallery shortcut is available to some beta testers after installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.24.16 update, providing a faster way to share stored media directly from the chat bar. This update reintroduces the camera shortcut alongside the gallery shortcut, ensuring users can quickly capture photos or browse their gallery without sacrificing convenience.
- The WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.24.8 update brings a fix for the green screen bug that prevented users from opening their chats and groups, restoring normal functionality for affected users.
