WhatsApp has been working on a number of disabled features lately. The company has already announced that Messenger Rooms will soon be heading to WhatsApp. In addition to this, the company has also released a new sticker pack on its platform. This week, the company took this trend one step further and introduced many other features in its Android and iOS-based apps.
Let’s take a look at them one by one.
Status updates are visible to all contacts in a user’s contact list. As of now, there is no way for users to restrict the visibility of their status updates from people they don’t want to see. But that could change soon, as WhatsApp plans to introduce a feature that will allow users to exclude some people on their contact list from viewing their status updates. According to WABetaInfo, the blog that tracks development on the social messaging app, the company plans to introduce a “Hide” button in the display list that would allow users to easily hide their status updates.

A major change that came to WhatsApp this week was an increase in the limit of participants who can join video and audio calls. Before this, up to four users could join a video or audio call. This feature is available in the company’s Android and iOS-based applications. Up to eight people can now participate in a video or audio call. This feature is available in the company’s Android and iOS-based applications. This is how you can use it.
Lastly, we got more details on support for multiple devices, a feature that has been in the news for quite some time. To give you a brief overview of the feature, the multi-device support feature allows users to use the same WhatsApp account on multiple devices at the same time. According to the blog site, the company offers a “Scan QR Code” option on its iOS-based application that would presumably allow users to log into their WhatsApp accounts. On Android, the company shows an option to connect to a Wi-Fi network. However, the purpose of the function remains uncertain. Once implemented, all user communications will automatically sync across all connected devices. It is worth noting that this feature is still in development and it is not known when it will reach the main application.
