New WhatsApp features make messaging easier and fun

WhatsApp has rolled out a series of updates this year to enhance user experience, making messaging more personal, fun, and efficient.

From managing contacts across devices to improving video calls, these features help users connect better and stay organised.

One standout update is the ability to manage and save contacts directly from WhatsApp Web, Windows, or other linked devices.

Users can now save contacts exclusively to WhatsApp, making transitions to new devices smooth and seamless.

Additionally, the introduction of Custom Lists and Favourites helps users prioritise and organise their most important chats effortlessly.

Stay organised with events and improved video calls

WhatsApp’s new Events feature allows users to create events within group chats, track RSVPs, and receive automatic reminders.

Event details remain accessible in the group’s information page, making planning and coordinating easier than ever.

For video call enthusiasts, WhatsApp now supports up to 32 participants with enhanced features.

Users can enjoy fun Filters and Backgrounds to match their mood during calls.

Technical improvements, such as the MLow codec, have also boosted call reliability.

Noise and echo cancellation ensure clearer calls in noisy environments, while faster connections deliver higher-resolution video quality.

Explore channels and creative tools

Finding Channels that interest you is now more convenient with the new Channel Categories, including People, Organisations, Lifestyle, Sports, Entertainment, Businesses, and News.

If something catches your eye, you can forward it to a chat or share it directly on your Status.

WhatsApp has also made communication more creative. Users can turn photos into stickers or access a massive library of GIPHY stickers directly within the app.

For Channel creators, Voice Updates have gained popularity, providing a personal touch to engage followers.

Managing Channels is easier too, with support for up to 16 administrators.

These new features reflect WhatsApp’s commitment to making communication smooth, fun, and user-friendly.

Whether you’re hosting an event, managing contacts, or enjoying an upgraded video call, WhatsApp continues to deliver tools that add value to everyday conversations.
