4 New WhatsApp Features

Users can finally pin important messages forever. Earlier, WhatsApp groups only allowed you to pin messages for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. The new update lets you keep those crucial texts pinned permanently at the top of your chat.

Share Old Messages With New Members

Group admins get a new option to share recent message history with newly added members. Admins just need to click the new member's name to share the recent chats. These messages stay fully end-to-end encrypted. Earlier, you could only share history while adding someone, but now you can do it even after they join.

Filter Your Mentions

WhatsApp adds a dedicated filter to sort out messages where someone tagged or mentioned you in a group chat. You will only see the messages where you are tagged when you use this specific filter. This saves you from scrolling through hundreds of group texts.

Group Status Feature

Users can now post a 'Group Status' that only specific group members can see. You can share photos and videos exactly like the regular status feature. This status automatically disappears after 24 hours. Other group members can react to it and even add their own statuses to the group.
