WhatsApp, the popular messaging app with over 2 billion users worldwide, is rolling out a number of new features in the coming months. These features are designed to make the app more user-friendly and interactive.
To start with, the chat app is likely to introduce the ability to share Status updates to Instagram. This is one of the most anticipated features that will allow users to share status updates on other platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram.
According to WaBetaInfo, this new feature was spotted on Android beta version (2.23.25.20). It will allow users to share their status updates directly to Instagram. The new feature is optional, meaning users can choose whether or not to enable it. This gives users control over the content they want to share on Instagram. WaBetaInfo notes that the feature is designed to save time for users who want to share the same content on both WhatsApp and Instagram.

Another major feature on which WhatsApp is said to be working on is search by username. It will basically allow users to search for other users by their username. This will make it easier to find and connect with people, especially those who you may not know by their phone number. It will also give anonymity to users who do not wish to reveal their phone number. This is beneficial for those who prioritise privacy and want more control over their personal information. Importantly, setting a username is optional, giving users the flexibility to choose whether to use this functionality.
