WHATSAPP is working on loads of secret changes – and we’ve got all the details.
The app is constantly getting new features, but we usually learn about them ahead of time.
That’s because WhatsApp features are usually first developed for the beta test version of the app.
Then the sleuths at WABetaInfo mine this app to uncover upcoming changes.
Now we’ve heard about five big changes coming to WhatsApp.
Sadly many are under development, but some have made it to the beta test (which you can sign up for below).
New features for WhatsApp
Here’s what’s coming up…
- 1. A new feature that lets you create links to join calls (beta)
- 2. The ability to hide when you’re online on WhatsApp (beta)
- 3. A feature that lets you create and share polls in group chats (beta)
- 4. A new camera mode to easily record videos (under development)
- 5. The ability to save Disappearing Messages as Kept Messages (under development)
If you want to try new WhatsApp features first, follow our guide below to join the beta.
