WhatsApp Enhances User Experience with New Features Including Document Scanning

WhatsApp’s latest updates might seem like small tweaks at first glance, but together? They’re a game-changer. Let’s break it down.

Ever wondered who’s lurking in your group chat? Now, you can see exactly how many folks are online, right there under the group name. And for those one-on-one convos, you’ve got the power to create events (with RSVP, because we’re fancy now) and pin them so no one forgets. iPhone users, you’re in for a treat—scan and send docs without leaving WhatsApp, and yes, you can finally set it as your go-to for messages and calls. (About time, right?)

Calling just got a whole lot simpler with a shiny new tab dedicated to calls, link sharing, and your call history. iPhone users, pinch to zoom in video calls is now a thing, and everything’s running smoother thanks to some under-the-hood magic.

Channel admins, listen up: you can now share bite-sized videos and, get this, transcripts of voice messages. Plus, QR codes for your channel? Done. And for the creatives out there, jazzing up your chats with new themes and avatar upgrades is now on the menu.

WhatsApp’s teasing even more features, so keep your eyes peeled. They’ve been busy bees, testing out reply threads and rolling out a drafts feature—finally answering the prayers of long-time users.
