Meta-owned WhatsApp has released a major update for Indian users. This update includes many new and useful features related to calling, status updates and Meta AI. Users can now leave voice or video notes immediately after a missed call. Status updates have also been made more interactive and creative. The company says that these changes will make daily use even easier.
Missed call notes and better calling experience
A major change has been made in the calling feature of WhatsApp. Now, if you miss a call, you’ll have the option to leave a voice or video message immediately. There is no need to open a separate chat for this. In group video calls, the person speaking will now be highlighted in the interface, making the conversation easier to follow.
Voice chat users can now react without interrupting the conversation. This makes it easier to give feedback during group chats. This feature is especially useful for making conversations easier in large groups. WhatsApp says that this will make real-time communication seem more natural.
Status is now more interactive
WhatsApp Status now includes music lyrics, question stickers and other interactive elements. Users can now reply to their contacts directly through their status updates. Image generation has also been upgraded with the help of Meta AI using Midjourney and Flux technology. Apart from this, there is also a feature to convert any static photo into a small video.
Improvements to desktop app and channel tools
Useful changes have also been made in the Windows, Mac and web versions of WhatsApp. With the newly designed Media tab, you can now search documents, photos, videos and links from all chats in one place. Additionally, link previews have been made smaller, making chats look cleaner and less cluttered. This update makes WhatsApp more productive for desktop users.
