Also, channel administrators can now ask questions to their followers in real time, which means broadcasters have even more ways to connect and get feedback from their audience.
These updates show that WhatsApp is still growing its messaging world as people get ready for one of the busiest times of the year for communication.
Missed Call Messages And Smarter Calling Tools
A blog by the messaging service highlights a significant addition: missed call messages. These allow users to quickly leave a voice or video note when a call goes unanswered. Depending on the call type, this feature replaces traditional voicemail and makes catching up more seamless during the busy festive period.
WhatsApp is also making voice chats even better with real-time reactions! Now, you can quickly say things like ‘cheers’ without interrupting everyone. Plus, in group video calls, there’s a new speaker spotlight feature that will automatically highlight the person speaking, so you can keep up with the conversation easily.
Chat Upgrades With Meta AI
The platform is making a big jump in AI by adding some fresh image generation models from Midjourney and Flux. Now, when you create custom images, like holiday cards, right in Meta AI on WhatsApp, you’ll notice a real boost in quality!
Another cool update is AI-powered photo animation, which can transform any still image into a quick video you can share in chats or on your status.
On desktop, WhatsApp is rolling out a new media tab that brings together all your media, documents and links from different conversations, so Mac, Windows and Web users can easily find and organise their files. Plus, the app has made link previews a bit cleaner, so you won’t have to wade through long URLs.
Status & Channel Engagement Tools
For Status, WhatsApp is bringing some new stickers to the table, like interactive designs, music lyric templates and question prompts, to really get people chatting and involved. Now, users can ask questions that viewers can answer right on their Status.
