WhatsApp is currently working on several new features, including group events, default media upload quality settings, a new composer for status updates, and more. Group Events is one of the more significant additions to the instant messaging app in recent months. Users will soon be able to create events in groups, RSVP to them, receive reminders, and more. These features are still in the works and will be rolled out in future updates.
WhatsApp is a popular messenger app for Android, known for its straightforward approach to instant messaging. However, competitors offer a range of features, prompting WhatsApp to catch up. The app is working on group events, default media upload quality settings, and other changes to enhance the user experience.
In the upcoming releases, users can expect to see the ability to create events in groups, with the option to schedule voice and video calls. Events can be edited, and attendees can RSVP. WhatsApp may also introduce a consolidated Events view section on the Group Info page to keep things organized. Additionally, users will be able to set their default media upload quality as either standard or high.
Another feature in the works is avatar privacy for stickers, allowing users to control who can use their avatar when creating stickers. WhatsApp is also developing a new composer screen for status updates, offering a more user-friendly interface for composing text, video, and photo updates. Lastly, the ability to forward and rewind videos is currently being rolled out on iOS.
