The popular messaging app WhatsApp is the main form of communication for most people today. We use it for everything from work to communication with friends and family. Just like all other Meta-powered applications, WhatsApp also gets a software update once in a while. But this new WhatsApp update is special, as the application has introduced ten new features for better user experience. Scroll down to read below what these ten new WhatsApp features are.
10 New WhatsApp Features In The Update
We’ve curated a detailed list of the ten new WhatsApp features in this update and explained how each of them works. Here’s the list:
1. Group Chat Online Indicator
Now WhatsApp users can see who is currently active within a group chat. The update enables a real-time “Online” indicator which makes participation in group chats easier.
2. Instant Tap Message Reactions
The message reaction update was already a quick and responsive update. Now WhatsApp has upgraded it with tappable message reactions where users can just tap the message to react with the same emoji as used by others.
3. RSVP Feature
This update has made event planning much easier for users. You can now create events even in one-on-one chats. The upgraded RSVP feature lets users use a ‘Maybe’ option and add an end time to events, invite a plus one, and pin events to the chat.
4. Document Scanner For iOS Users
Only iPhone and iOS users can now scan and send important documents through WhatsApp.
5. Zoom Enabled In Video Calls
This update also promises better and more reliable quality video calls along with a new feature that lets users pinch and zoom on video calls.
6. Add Participants In Call With A Tap
Users can now add participants to an ongoing video call just by tapping the call icon within the chat.

But if you choose the “All” option, you will get every notification.
10. WhatsApp As The Default Messaging App For iOS Users
This last update is just for iOS users, as they can now set WhatsApp as their default messaging and calling app.
