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 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.

Have you had to take a video call while doing something else? This can be annoying, as you would often have to end the call to do so. For WhatsApp, the solution is to implement picture-in-picture (PiP) mode. Well, this feature is now officially available to iOS users.

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.

Meta-owned social media platform Facebook reached a milestone recently after it recorded 2 billion daily active users (DAU) for the very first time. The matter was revealed by Meta in its fourth-quarter earnings report.

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. 

As we get closer to 2023, some older phone models will be phased out of software support. In WhatsApp's case, older phones won't be able to support WhatsApp anymore so do check it out below. 

A few hours ago, WhatsApp just tweeted a new feature that's coming soon. If you have accidentally deleted a message but want it back, fret not because there will be an Undo feature to bring it back.
