Over the past few months, we’ve added new features to WhatsApp that make chatting and calling more convenient and fun. You can send Live and Motion photos, get creative with Meta AI in chats and video calls, search group chat names, and more.
WhatsApp is your place for private chats with family and friends. We’re always introducing new features and updates to help you better express yourself and have more engaged conversations.
- Live and Motion photos: Now you can share Live Photos (iOS) and Motion Photos (Android) that add sound and movement to the moments you capture on camera, meaning you can share richer moments with friends.
- New chat themes with Meta AI: Earlier this year we introduced chat themes as a way to customize your chats. You can now use the power of Meta AI to boost your creativity and make custom chat themes of your own. (Meta AI features may not be available to all users.)
- New sticker packs: We’ve introduced new sticker packs to make your chats more expressive and fun. Download stickers from the Fearless Bird or Vacation packs whose cute characters can sum up how you’re feeling without needing to say a word.
- Easier group search: Group chat names sometimes get so creative that they can be hard to remember. Now, just search for someone you know that’s in the group in your Chats tab, and it will display the groups you have in common.
- Document scanning on Android: Now you can scan, crop, and send documents directly from WhatsApp on Android devices (previously only available on iPhone).
- New video call backgrounds with Meta AI: Now you can use Meta AI to create unique backgrounds for your video calls to put you in your favorite surroundings or try something new. You can also add AI backgrounds when taking photos and videos directly in chats.
Stay tuned for more new updates to WhatsApp soon.
