WhatsApp just dropped a feature-packed update, proving it’s more than just a messaging app—it’s your personal assistant, party planner, and creativity hub all rolled into one. Here’s what’s new:
Contacts, Sorted Like a Pro
Remember the chaos of juggling contacts across devices? Now you can manage them directly from WhatsApp Web or Windows. Plus, saving contacts exclusively to WhatsApp makes device-hopping a breeze. And if your chats are as messy as your Monday mornings, Custom Lists and Favourites are here to rescue you.
Events and Calls, Leveled Up
Planning your bestie’s surprise party? The new Events feature lets you create events, track RSVPs, and set reminders—all without the group spam. Need to rally the troops for a quick call? Video calls now host up to 32 people, complete with Filters and Backgrounds to set the vibe. Bonus: better noise cancellation means no more awkward “Can you hear me now?” moments.
Channels Get Personal
Following your favourite Channels just got easier with curated categories like Sports, Lifestyle, and News. Spotted something cool? Share it with your friends or flex it on your Status.
Stickers, Voice Updates, and More
Turn your selfies into stickers because why not? Or dive into GIPHY’s massive sticker library for the perfect comeback. If you’re a Channel creator, Voice Updates are now a thing—because sometimes typing just doesn’t cut it.
Meta AI Joins the Chat
Debating who won last night’s game or do need inspiration for that perfect sticker? Enter Meta AI, your chatbot buddy that answers questions, generates stickers, and even creates images with simple commands like “/imagine.”
Whether you’re organising, socialising, or just looking to spice up your chats, WhatsApp’s latest features are here to make your life easier—and way more fun.
