WhatsApp has taken a big step towards improving the user experience by introducing new chat, call, and channel tools and features. These updates are designed to compete with platforms like Telegram and Discord and show WhatsApp’s efforts to satisfy users. Hence, this update could be one of this platform’s best strengths. In this article, we will examine these new 2025 widgets.
One of the new features is showing the online status of group members in group chats. This feature helps users easily find out who is available for conversation. Also, in the notification settings section, an option called Notify has been added that allows users to enable notifications for specific mentions, replies, or messages by selecting Highlights. If you select All, you will continue to receive notifications as before.
iPhone users can now scan and send documents directly through WhatsApp. In addition, these users can set WhatsApp as the default messenger and zoom in on images during video calls.
WhatsApp has improved its video call technologies to increase the quality and stability of calls. These updates reduce common problems such as call drops. Also, the bandwidth detection system has been improved, making HD video calls now possible. On the other hand, WhatsApp has extended the ability to create Events, previously active in group chats, to one-on-one conversations. Users can choose responses like “Maybe,” set an end time and date, or pin the event to the chat for easier access.
Three new features have been introduced in the Channels section. Channel admins can now record short videos and share them with their audience. There’s also the ability to create QR codes to link directly to the channel. In addition, users can get text summaries of channel audio messages. This feature will be handy for times when it’s not possible to listen to the messages. Another change is the ability to add a new person to one-on-one calls. You can easily invite someone else to the conversation by using the call icon at the top of the screen and selecting the Add to Call option.
These updates reflect WhatsApp’s commitment to providing a better user experience. With these new features, the platform not only meets its users’ daily needs but also strengthens its position in competition with other messaging apps. These changes are expected to increase user satisfaction further and make the WhatsApp experience smoother and more enjoyable.
