WhatsApp launched several new features to improve user security in
2022, including WhatsApp Communities, avatars, a self-chat feature, and changes
to view-once media. The platform's privacy features have also been improved.
According to WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo, the app will add new security
features to WhatsApp Communities. WABetaInfo published a concept feature that
allows users to control who can call them if they join community groups.
Here are some features that are expected to be released this year:
Bookmark on vanishing chat
- Message search by date
- Text that can only be viewed once
- On iOS Companion mode, picture-in-picture (PIP) for video calls
- WhatsApp desktop's Call tab
- Login with a 6-digit code
The main points
Bookmark functionality in disappearing chats
WhatsApp is developing a bookmark icon. It will appear in the
disappearing message message bubble, indicating that it will not be removed
from the chat. On Android, the feature is being worked on. According to
WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo, the feature will distinguish between kept messages
and regular disappearing messages within the chat.
Date-based message search
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is testing a feature that allows
users to sort messages by date. The application tracker discovered a timetable
image, which allows you to search for messages based on the date they were
received. According to reports, the part is currently being tested with a small
group of iOS clients.
iOS supports picture-in-picture (PIP) video calls.
Clients who use the PIP mode will want to perform various tasks and
browse other applications while on a WhatsApp video call. The component is now
available on Android and will soon be available to all iOS clients. According
to WABetaInfo, the texting stage has been testing the element and has used it
to select beta clients.
The WhatsApp work area's Call tab
According to reports, WhatsApp's desktop application will soon
include a dedicated call tab. Clients will want to track and synchronize WhatsApp call data between mobile and web devices. The feature, which is
currently available to a limited number of Windows users, will have its own tab
in WhatsApp's sidebar.
Login security updates 6-digit code
WhatsApp is testing a new verification option on the Android app
with a small group of beta testers. This extra layer of security requires users
to enter a code when attempting to log in to WhatsApp on a secondary device via
companion mode. Users can anticipate a public rollout of this feature.
Text that can only be viewed once
Users of the instant messaging platform can send view-once media
such as images, GIFs, and videos. The platform is working on allowing users to
send view-once messages, according to WABetaInfo. This follows the platform's
introduction of the ability to prevent screen capture of view-once messages.
