As WhatsApp continues to update its app, the latest update is making groups more manageable for admins as well as allowing participants to navigate around. Read on below to check out this short news.

WhatsApp is currently testing a new feature for group chats that would allow users to set an expiration date for the group. Aptly named ‘Expiring Groups’, the feature was introduced on the WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.5.0.70 update, meaning that it may end up in the full version of the app soon.

If you've ever worked on tablets, you would realise that some mobile apps aren't optimised for larger screens. Some developers don't make tablet versions of their apps, so they just end up looking like larger versions of their smartphone counterparts. Well, WhatsApp is looking to fix that.

Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp was recently spotted testing a new ‘Newsletter’ feature in the latest beta version of its Android app. As the name suggests, the feature allows users to subscribe to newsletters from their favourite channel’s broadcasts.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has revealed that the company is in the midst of testing AI-powered tools for its products. These would include AI-powered chats on its messaging platforms, WhatsApp and Messenger.

This year, WhatsApp announced that there will be some new updates for our Status. Like your personal chats and calls, your WhatsApp status is protected by end-to-end encryption so you can share privately and securely.

WhatsApp may soon allow users to send photos at their original quality after the feature was spotted on the beta version of the app. This means that the Meta-owned messaging platform is currently testing the feature out and may well be included in a future update of the app.

Regarding the recent scam of a man who lost over RM23,000 from his Touch 'n Go (TNG) eWallet, the TNG eWallet company sent out a reminder on its social media about looking out for potential scammers.
