Users can now share their screens across different platforms, equipping WhatsApp to compete effectively with video calling giants like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet.

To utilize this feature, initiate a video call and tap the ‘Share’ icon at the screen’s base.

After granting screen recording permission, all participants in the call gain access to the shared screen, revolutionizing the way conversations unfold.

2. High-Quality Photo Sharing

While HD images may take longer to load based on internet speed and consume more storage,

this feature satisfies the long-standing demand for enhanced photo sharing capabilities.

WhatsApp plans to extend this high-quality feature to video sharing in the near future, safeguarded by the platform’s end-to-end encryption.

3. Voice Chats in WhatsApp Groups

WhatsApp Group chats are set to become even more interactive with the introduction of ‘Voice Chats.’ This feature enables participants within a group to engage in voice conversations, resembling a group call setup.

Unlike group calls, Voice Chats won’t trigger device ringtones for new messages, making it ideal for more discreet interactions.

When initiated, the group icon transforms into a waveform icon, accompanied by a ‘Connect’ button, enabling seamless audio communication within the group.

4. Edit Sent Media Captions

Correcting typos or errors in captions attached to sent media files is now a breeze. Instead of resending media or captions separately, users can edit captions post-sharing.

A tap-and-hold action on the message in question reveals the ‘Edit’ option, akin to the ‘Edit Message’ function in messaging apps.

This allows edits within 15 minutes of sending, offering flexibility in maintaining the accuracy of your media captions.

5. Instant Group Creation without Names

WhatsApp’s parent company, Meta, has unveiled an upcoming feature that will enable users to create groups without immediately assigning names.

This feature streamlines group creation by auto-naming groups of up to 6 participants based on their involvement.

Moreover, the privacy aspect remains intact, with individuals not on your contact list only able to view your phone number.

Names within the group won’t be visible on your contact list, ensuring a level of anonymity and ease.

It’s important to note that while some of these features are still undergoing refinement, WhatsApp is committed to delivering enhanced and user-centric experiences.

As these features continue to roll out, they are bound to transform how you connect and communicate within the platform.
