Meta just announced some cool new features for WhatsApp that will make chatting easier and more fun! One of the biggest updates is the new Typing Indicator. Now, when someone is typing in a chat—whether one-on-one or in a group—you’ll see their profile picture and a “…” on the chat screen. This helps you know who is about to send a message, which is super handy in group chats where it can be hard to tell who’s talking.
WhatsApp is rolling out this Typing Indicator soon for both iPhone and Android users, so everyone can enjoy better conversations in groups.
Another new feature is called Draft Messages. With this, if you start writing a message but can’t finish it right away, you can save it as a “Draft.” This way, you won’t lose your thoughts, and you can easily come back to complete your message later.
WhatsApp is also adding Voice Note Transcription, which means you can read your voice messages instead of listening to them. This is great if you’re busy or in a place where you can’t have the sound on. The app keeps everything private, and the transcripts are made right on your phone, so no worries about your audio being shared.
Additionally, WhatsApp will stop supporting older iPhone versions after May 2025. So, if you have an iPhone that’s older than version 15.1, you’ll need to update to keep using the app. This change will help WhatsApp make the app work better on newer iPhones.
With these updates, WhatsApp is making chatting better, whether you’re talking to one friend or a whole group. Users can look forward to an even better chatting experience soon!
