A robust set of updates has been released by WhatsApp with the goal of improving the user experience across channels, calls, and chats, particularly for iPhone users. The latest version introduces smarter group alerts, upgraded video calling, and the long-awaited document scanning feature for iOS.
Among the standout features, video calls now support screen sharing with audio, allowing users to present videos, apps, or content in real-time—ideal for both work and personal communication. Additionally, group chats are now smarter, with alert tags notifying members when they’ve been added to a new group, cutting down on confusion and spam.
The integrated document scanner is another cool new feature available to iPhone users. This simplifies processes and lessens dependency on third-party apps by enabling users to take and send documents straight from within the app.
These modifications reflect WhatsApp’s increasing desire to maintain its position as the preferred platform for secure communication, productivity, and more than just chat. With more than two billion users, every update could change the way we communicate.
