New features that add to the user experience
Users can now take advantage of AI meta to create special chat themes according to their respective creativity, and even present a unique background when making video calls or when taking photos and videos directly in chat.
In addition, WhatsApp added a new sticker package that makes conversation more expressive, ranging from a collection of brave birds, school days, to holidays.
The group search function is also getting easier, simply by looking for the name of one member to display the same group.
Additional features for Android users
Especially for Android users, there is now a document scan feature that allows cutting, storage, and sending documents directly from the application, an ability that previously only existed on the iPhone.
With these new features, WhatsApp further strengthens its position as an instant messaging application that is not only efficient, but also rich in features that support the needs of users in various situations. Starting from sharing life moments, creating unique chat themes, to managing documents digitally, everything can be done easily through this application.
