1. You can see who are online
Group conversations now include an online indication, among other new features. Under the group name, you can see the current number of members who are online in real time.

2. Highlights options
Notifications in group conversations may now be highlighted, among other enhancements. This makes it easier for you to prioritize communications.

3. RSVP feature
The ability to organize activities inside groups is another significant innovation. Even one-on-one chats allow you to establish events. For lengthier parties, WhatsApp now allows you to add a plus-one, RSVP as "Maybe," and specify the finish time and date. For convenience, you may also pin the event in the conversation.

4. Additional emojis
Emoji responses, document scanning on the iPhone, and the ability to make WhatsApp your iPhone's default message and calling app are some more changes.
