WhatsApp moves a little slower than other messengers, but you can’t say that nothing is happening. If you read our blog here, you have probably heard of one or the other innovation – or even used it in beta. The following innovations are officially available from today, but the rollout may take some time, according to WhatsApp.
-
Animated stickers: Stickers are one of the fastest growing and most popular communication methods in WhatsApp – billions of them are sent every day. That’s why we’re introducing new animated sticker sets that are even more fun.
-
QR-Codes: Adding a new contact will be easier than ever. It will soon be possible to scan the QR code of a person you have just met to add them to your contacts. No more tediously typing in digits of a phone number.
-
Dark mode for WhatsApp web and desktop: The popular dark mode is now also available for your computer.
-
Group video call improvements: Now that up to 8 people can make a video call, we make it easier to focus on a specific participant. Just tap and hold it to view its video in full screen. We have also introduced a video icon in group chats with up to 8 participants so that you can easily start a group video chat with just one tap.
-
Status messages for KaiOS: KaiOS users can now look forward to this popular function, which can be used to share updates that automatically disappear after 24 hours.
