Today, the app is much more than that, owing to<a href=\"http:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> its interface and the regular updates it undergoes<\/a>. But before we get to the WhatsApp updates in 2022-23, let\u2019s have a look at some earlier ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many changes in the app have been attributed to its acquisition by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meta (formerly known as Facebook)<\/a> in 2014. Thus, with enhancing usability, WhatsApp has become one of the fastest mediums for keeping in touch with loved ones via chats and video and audio calls, as well as to engage audiences and accelerate sales through features like WhatsApp Business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other updates made to the app include WhatsApp Web, which launched in 2015, and end-to-end encryption, stickers, group calling and UPI payments introduced till 2018. Additionally, in August 2021, the company rolled out the \u2018View Once\u2019 option, which made chats disappear after they were opened. With this, users could send photographs, without worrying about it taking space in your phone. It also enhanced user privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Here_are_the_new_WhatsApp_features_and_updates_introduced_in_2022-23\"><\/span><strong>Here are the new WhatsApp features and updates introduced in 2022-23<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Introducing-communities.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Introducing-communities.webp 1024w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Introducing-communities-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Introducing-communities-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>WhatsApp launched the Communities feature on 3 November. In a blog post, the company said that the \u201cmajor update\u201d is being rolled out globally and will be available to all users in the next few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCommunities like neighborhoods, parents at a school, and workplaces can now connect multiple groups together under one umbrella to organize group conversations on WhatsApp,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being in a Community will allow the user to get information from various groups in the community and receive updates from other members within the community \u2014 all of whom share a common interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, WhatsApp said that Communities will help \u201corganizations communicate with a level of privacy and security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe alternatives available today require trusting apps or software companies with a copy of their messages \u2013 and we think they deserve the higher level of security provided by end-to-end encryption,\u201d WhatsApp said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the company, 50 organisations in 15 countries were involved in providing feedback to WhatsApp for Communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In-chat polls, 32-person video calling and larger groups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Calls-and-Groups-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Calls-and-Groups-1024x575.webp 1024w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Calls-and-Groups-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Calls-and-Groups-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Calls-and-Groups.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>WhatsApp also launched three more features alongside Communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These include creating polls in chat and a major expansion to video calling, which would now include up to 32 persons at a time. Groups can now be created with up to 1,024 users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WhatsApp said in its blog that all three new features will be \u201cparticularly helpful for Communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New features to enhance privacy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-1024x575.webp 1024w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/WhatsApp.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On 9 August, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that WhatsApp is getting a new set of increased privacy features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the BBC, Zuckerberg said the features will help keep WhatsApp messaging \u201cas private and secure as face-to-face conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important features is letting users exit a group, notifying none of the members, except admins. As of now, all members of a group are alerted by a notification within the chat box when a member leaves the group or is dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, users will be able to control who can see them online. They can choose which of their contacts won\u2019t be able to see when the user is online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A third feature will help those who send View Once messages. These are messages that disappear once the intended recipient has seen them. The feature update will prevent other users from taking screenshots of View Once messages, securing the privacy of the sender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Improving voice messages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Improving-voice-messages.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Improving-voice-messages.webp 1024w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Improving-voice-messages-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Improving-voice-messages-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the introduction of voice messages in 2013, sharing voice notes became a quick and easy process, helping those who do not want to type a message. The simply designed feature helps users share more intimate and expressive conversations in the form of a voice note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a 30 March 2022 blog, WhatsApp reported that its users share 7 billion voice messages on average, which are protected and kept private using end-to-end-encryption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a cue from this, the messaging app launched new features in March 2022-23 to improve the WhatsApp voice message experience. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of chat playback: It helps you hear a voice message outside the chat, while you read and respond to other messages or multitask on your smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pause\/resume recording: You can pause your voice message recording to, for example, collect your thoughts or do away with distractions and resume recording once ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waveform visualisation: It shows a visual representation of the sound, on the voice message, to indicate the recording is on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Draft preview: You can listen to your voice messages before sending them to your loved ones or clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember playback: In case you press pause while listening to a voice message in a chat, this feature lets you resume from where you left off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast playback on Forwarded Messages: The feature allows you to increase the speed of regular and forwarded voice messages to 1.5x or 2x, to listen to them faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Introducing communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Communities-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Communities-1024x575.webp 1024w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Communities-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Communities-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Communities.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Organisations like local clubs, schools or businesses heavily depend on WhatsApp to work and share confidential information. Which is why, the messaging app introduced a one-stop solution called Communities in April 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature helps to share information with a larger number of people by bringing different group chats under one roof, using a system that benefits them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, people can receive updates sent to the entire community, as well as set up smaller discussion groups who share common interests. For instance, a school principal can use the Community feature to bring all the parents together and share important updates in one space. They can also create groups for specific classes or extracurricular activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Communities will empower group admins with new tools that include announcement messages that can be broadcast to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More features will be enabled before the entire Communities interface is launched later in 2022. While they have not specified the date, WhatsApp is focussing on developing Communities this year to support its daily users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Post launch, they will be able to use Admin Delete, where WhatsApp group admins can delete problematic messages from everyone\u2019s chats, and voice calls, a one-tap voice calling feature where up to 32 people can be on the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reactions, share large files and increased group sizes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Reactions-share-large-files-and-increased-group-sizes.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Reactions-share-large-files-and-increased-group-sizes.webp 1024w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Reactions-share-large-files-and-increased-group-sizes-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Reactions-share-large-files-and-increased-group-sizes-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The messaging app updated its interface with emoji Reactions on 5 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The update includes six emoji reactions \u2014 love, laugh, sad, surprise and thanks. These are similar to the ones available on Facebook and Instagram. Quick and fun to use, the reactions appear under messages when you tap on it and hold it down for a couple of seconds. The user can select the most suitable reaction for the options. The feature helps to reduce the number of messages as well. Additionally, Meta shared that it will be adding more expressions to this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the update, users can share a file size of 2 GB on WhatsApp. The limit was earlier set at 100 MB. However, it is advised to use WiFi for the seamless transfer of larger files. Also, while downloading or uploading a file, a counter will be displayed, indicating the time the file will take to transfer. The feature is safeguarded with end-to-end encryption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further support businesses, schools and other close-knit groups, WhatsApp will allow group admins to add up to 512 people to a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Supporting small businesses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Supporting-small-businesses.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Supporting-small-businesses.webp 1024w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Supporting-small-businesses-300x196.webp 300w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Supporting-small-businesses-768x502.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>WhatsApp is leaving no stone unturned to support businesses globally. The company announced that it is developing advanced features to help businesses operate and amplify their presence online. For instance, WhatsApp will make it easy to manage chats on up to 10 devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, to attract customers online, it will provide new customisable WhatsApp click-to-chat links. However, these features will be included as a premium, chargeable service that you can opt for, if you have a WhatsApp Business account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a complimentary service, the company is offering free, secure cloud-hosting services for all businesses, irrespective of their sizes. With the new API, not only has the start-up time to access WhatsApp reduced to minutes but businesses can also customise their experiences and quickly reach out to their customers. You can sign up directly or contact Meta\u2019s business solution providers to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Privacy control for profile picture, Last Seen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most-awaited WhatsApp updates of 2022 gives users the ability to hide their profile pictures, status updates and Last Seen statuses from specific contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new option named \u2018My Contacts Except\u2026\u2019 has been added to the existing three \u2014 \u2018Everyone\u2019, \u2018My Contacts\u2019 and \u2018Nobody\u2019 \u2014 that can be selected from the Privacy screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When \u2018My Contacts Except\u2026\u2019 is selected, information about statuses, profile pictures and Last Seen is hidden from the contacts who are in the exceptions list. This means that users have greater control over who can see their information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other upcoming features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"806\" height=\"806\" src=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Other-upcoming-features.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Other-upcoming-features.webp 806w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Other-upcoming-features-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Other-upcoming-features-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/rajeshgoutam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Other-upcoming-features-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 806px) 100vw, 806px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>WhatsApp is also looking to introduce more features and updates in 2022 to simplify user experience. While the date of launch is yet to be confirmed, the features are likely to debut this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For iOS users, the app will enable them to see profile photos of individuals and groups in WhatsApp notifications. While this feature is in the testing stage, it will soon be released for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WhatsApp is planning to redo the design of its interface that tells who you are sharing media with. It will allow users to choose new recipients before sending media files. You will also be able to share an image, a video or a GIF on your status as well as chats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A feature that might also get introduced this year across multiple devices would allow users to log out of their WhatsApp accounts, similar to Facebook or Instagram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2009, two ex-Yahoo! employees Brian Acton and Jan Koum launched WhatsApp as a one-to-one chat app service.
