  1. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.21.10.70 update, it's possible to experiment with a chat widget to quickly access your most important conversations right from the home screen. This new widget offers flexibility in customizing what is displayed, allowing users to toggle between favorite contacts, pinned chats, recent conversations, or frequently contacted groups.
  2. The WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.21.31 update suggests that WhatsApp has plans to allow users to search shared images on the web in the future. This feature will enable users to quickly find more information about an image by uploading it to Google for a reverse image search, helping verify its source and authenticity.
  3. In the article about the WhatsApp for iOS 24.20.71 update, we announced that WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to choose a chat theme among 20 different colors. Users can select a default theme that will apply across all conversations for a cohesive look, or opt for unique themes for individual chats to help differentiate between personal, work, and group discussions. This version also caused inconvenience with media files for a limited number of beta testers. More details are available here.
  4. WhatsApp is also rolling out a feature to customize the chat theme among different styles after installing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.21.34 update from the Google Play Store.
