WhatsApp 6 Features Including AI Chat, Custom Stickers, Dial Pad ...
WhatsApp has recently unveiled a series of new features in January 2025 that are set to enhance the user experience across Android, iOS, and desktop platforms. This latest update introduces a range of functionalities including AI chat, custom stickers, a built-in dial pad, and more.
AI Chat with AI Studio
One of the notable additions to WhatsApp is the introduction of AI Studio for chat interactions. Users now have the ability to engage with AI personas, such as cultural icons and fictional characters, within the Meta AI chat window. This feature enables users to have meaningful conversations even in the absence of friends.
Built-in Dial Pad for iPhone Users
iPhone users can now enjoy the convenience of a built-in dial pad on WhatsApp. This feature allows users to dial numbers directly without the need to save contacts. By accessing the Calls tab and tapping the plus (+) icon, users can easily make calls using the new dial pad.
Double-Tap Reactions
WhatsApp now supports double-tap reactions, similar to Instagram's DM reactions. Users can quickly express their reactions to messages by double-tapping on them, which brings up the emoji reaction menu for easy response.
Custom Stickers from Photos
Another exciting feature is the ability for users to create custom stickers from photos. WhatsApp automatically extracts subjects from images and converts them into stickers, offering a unique way to personalize conversations. Moreover, users can now share sticker packs using direct links.
Filters and Effects for Photos
WhatsApp has expanded its features by allowing users to add filters and effects to regular photos, a functionality that was previously limited to video calls and status updates. This enhancement enriches the photo-sharing experience within chats, providing more creative options for users.
Personal Messages for Forwarding
Android users now have the option to add personal messages before forwarding media or links. This feature enables users to provide context to forwarded content, enhancing communication clarity. The option to add personal messages appears when forwarding any text, media, or link.
Stay informed and updated by ensuring your WhatsApp app is up to date to enjoy these new features. WhatsApp continues to innovate and enhance the user experience, so keep an eye out for more exciting updates in the future.
