Alert for millions of WhatsApp users as five huge app changes revealed

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.

To download WhatsApp beta for your smartphone you need to go to Google Play on your Android and search for WhatsApp.

Scroll down the page until you see “Become a Beta Tester”.

Tap the “I’m In” button and then click “Join” to confirm.

Now all you have to do is wait for the update to the beta version of the app.

Joining the WhatsApp beta on iPhone is more difficult, and has limited capacity.
