WhatsApp has been working hard to bring new features and updates to the messaging platform and keep things interesting for its over 2 billion people who use the app and on the web.
Here’s a breakdown of the top new features to take advantage of this month.
Meta AI chatbot
Meta is shipping its AI chatbot to WhatsApp. The Meta AI chatbot icon is located next to the compose button on the Chat tab in the new bottom navigation bar for some users.
Tapping on it launches a new chat and Meta has designed the chatbot to not only answer questions but also use text prompts to create images as well.
Chat Lock on Linked Devices
The app is now allowing users to lock chats on their linked devices. This feature was only available to your primary smartphone and now you can protect your conversations on other linked devices.
Event Scheduling Feature for Communities
WhatsApp is bringing an event scheduling feature to its communities tab. Participants in the community can create and manage events within the group chats efficiently. Community members will receive notifications, invites and reminders for new events.
