WhatsApp makes profile management more functional with its latest update for Android users. With the beta version of the application 2.26.24.1, the ‘About’ section, where users describe themselves, has been completely redesigned. With this update, Meta developers aim to provide a more transparent interface to users on how to manage their profile information and who can see this information. Now, users can configure their visibility preferences directly on this screen without going into privacy settings.

Privacy controls are now integrated directly into the profile management screen, speeding up the process.

Cluster Calls Supported on WhatsApp Web

The platform is not limited to portable devices only and continues to strengthen its web version.

Browser-based group voice and video calls can now be made via WhatsApp Web. This feature, which supports up to 32 people, is protected by end-to-end encryption.

In addition, the ability to share screens during conversations and allow experience participants to quickly join the conversation via trusted links significantly improves the user.

Increasing Closure in Messaging Features

A new feature being tested in the iOS beta brings a ‘view once’ option for text messages. In this way, sent texts are automatically deleted after they are read and the recipient is prevented from copying or forwarding the message. This attack once again emphasizes WhatsApp’s determination to protect user data.

This new feature for text notifications raises privacy standards in digital connection.

Voice Memo Widget is Being Developed for Android

WhatsApp is designing a new widget for the home screen to speed up the process of sending voice notifications to Android users. Thanks to this tool, users will be able to record directly from the home screen without opening the application. This feature, which is under development, aims to meet users’ needs for quick contact.

Group Information Screen is Rearranged

The group chat information screen on Android devices has a more systematic structure. Following the tabbed navigation system, the cluster information is divided into two different parts for easier browsing of the settings. This arrangement reduces administrative complexity, especially in accounts with many active clusters.

Green Dot Used for Online Status

WhatsApp is replacing the existing text label with a contemporary green dot icon to indicate individuals online. This icon, which initially appears only on the chat information screen, will spread throughout the application with future updates. This design change makes the platform compatible with other contemporary messaging applications.
