WhatsApp<\/a> has announced<\/a> a slew of new updates across chats, calls, and channels designed to enhance the messaging and calling experience for users as it continues to compete with popular services like Telegram and Discord.<\/p>\n

Among the most notable additions is an \u201cOnline\u201d indicator that appears at the top of a group chat to show you how many people are currently around to chat. <\/p>\n

Another new group chat feature will allow you to highlight certain notifications, as you can now use a newly added \u201cNotify for\u201d setting and select \u201cHighlights\u201d to limit notifications for @mentions, replies, and messages from saved contacts or \u2018All\u2019 to receive all notifications.<\/p>\n

Another feature offers the option to scan and send documents on an iPhone. To access this, users select \u201cscan document\u201d from the attachment options and then follow the steps to scan, crop, and save the document.<\/p>\n

Also, iPhone users can now set WhatsApp as their default messaging and calling app. Plus, iPhone users can now pinch to zoom in during video calls.<\/p>\n

As for video calls, WhatsApp says it upgraded its technology<\/a> to make video calls more reliable and of higher quality, which should lead to reduced dropped calls and video freezing. The app\u2019s improved bandwidth detection should also allow for more HD-quality video calls.<\/p>\n

While WhatsApp has allowed users to create events in group chats for some time now, it\u2019s now rolling out the ability to create an event in 1:1 conversations. Plus, the events feature is getting updated with the ability to RSVP as \u201cmaybe,\u201d invite a plus one, add an end date and time, and pin events so they\u2019re easier to find. <\/p>\n

In addition, you can now add someone to an ongoing 1:1 call from a chat thread by tapping the call icon at the top of your screen and then selecting \u201cAdd to call.\u201d<\/p>\n

Channels are also getting three updates, as admins can now record and share short videos with followers and share unique QR codes that link directly to their channel. Plus, you can now get a written summary of voice message updates from channels to get yourself up to speed when you\u2019re on the go and unable to read individual messages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
