Animated stickers: Stickers are among the fastest growing and most popular communication methods in WhatsApp – billions of them are sent every day. That’s why we’re introducing new animated sticker sets that are even more fun.
QR Codes: Adding a new contact will be easier than ever. It will soon be possible to scan the QR code of a person you have just met to add them to your contacts. No more tediously typing in digits of a phone number.
Dark mode for WhatsApp web and desktop: The popular dark mode is now also available for your computer.
Group video call improvements: Now that up to 8 people can make a video call, we make it easier to focus on a specific participant. Just tap and hold to display his video on the full screen. We have also introduced a video icon in group chats with up to 8 participants so that you can easily start a group video chat with just one tap.
Status reports for KaiOS: KaiOS users can now look forward to this popular function, which can be used to share updates that automatically disappear after 24 hours.
