News & Reviews:   Whatsapp

Recently, WhatsApp has introduced several new features that make the app easier to use. This update not only brings the missed call message function but also adds fun status stickers. So, what should you know about it?

WhatsApp's latest beta update for Android now extends the draft feature, previously limited to chat messages, to status updates. So, what should you know about it?

WhatsApp is reintroducing its original About status feature — a simple way for users to post short updates about what they are doing. According to the company, About was actually WhatsApp’s very first feature, used before the app was even built around messaging.

WhatsApp is rolling out a multi-account feature in its iOS TestFlight beta (version 25.34.10.72), allowing eligible users to add and switch between two separate WhatsApp accounts on the same device. For users who have multiple accounts on WhatsApp, this can be a useful feature in the future.

According to WABetaInfo, several beta testers reported that the option to add and switch accounts is now available in the app's settings menu. So, what should you know about it?

Meta announced a Content Protection feature that detects videos uploaded to Facebook and Instagram without the original owner's permission. So, what should you know about it?

WhatsApp is reportedly developing a new feature that will allow you to receive messages from unknown numbers through a "message requests" folder. So, what should you know about it?

In the future, we could send a WhatsApp message to a third-party chat. WhatsApp has released its Android beta version 2.25.33.8 via the Google Play Beta Program, and the update introduces a feature that enables third-party chat interoperability, purportedly in response to European regulatory requirements.

Honestly, we are not surprised by this news. Ever since the pandemic, we have noticed that more scams have been disguised as Facebook ads. The recent news report by Reuters confirmed this, as internal documents reviewed by the media show that Meta projected it would earn about 10% of its 2024 annual revenue — roughly US$16 billion — from advertisements linked to scams and banned goods across its platforms.

Last week, it was reported that WhatsApp was testing a native WhatsApp app for the Apple Watch. Turns out we didn't have to wait long, as the beta test is over and the Apple Watch version is officially out. Find out how it differs from the mobile app below.
