WhatsApp pour iOS introduced a new widget for chats and adds zoom functions for the camera.
WhatsApp has released a new update for iOS (version 24.21.81), introducing a specific widget for chats directly on the iPhone home screen. This new feature gives you quick access to your favorite or most frequent conversations, making it even easier to stay in touch with your contacts.
After updating the app, users can add the new widget on the home screen via the editing interface. Options include:
- Recent Discussions
- Favorites
- Conversations fixes
- More frequent contacts
These options give you direct access to the discussions that matter most to you.
In addition to the widget, WhatsApp has improved the camera functionality, which now supports 0.5x to 3x zoom, allowing for greater versatility in capturing images. Additionally, the ability to mention other users in status updates via the @ button has been added, making it easier to tag contacts in your Stories.
WhatsApp has announced that these new features will not be immediately available to everyone, but will be distributed in the coming weeks.
