Some of these features or updates will enroll firstly on the iPhone and then on the Android.
So, let us know in detail what 10 amazing WhatsApp features or updates you need to know about at the start of 2025.
Widgets for Chats
WhatsApp is going to enroll the feature named Widgets for Chats.
The purpose of this feature is to display the widgets for the chats you engage in or open more often than others on the home screen.
To make the accessibility faster and quick even without the need for opening the app and finding the chat manually again and again.
The main advantage of this feature is that you can stay in touch with the important chats without being bothered by those who are least important.
And the direct access saves time.
WhatsApp is going to enroll this feature firstly for iPhone users and later on for Android Users.
As an Android user, it would help if you had a little patience.
Third Part Chat Request
This feature will likely blow your mind differently.
WhatsApp is going to introduce the Third Party Chat Request feature on its official platform.
The name has foreshadowed that it can be expected this feature is going to provide extremely helpful and convenient service.
It will make your chat with non-WApp users, meaning with the availability of this update, you can connect with those present on WeChat, telegram or other third-party applications without even creating a separate account.
This feature is surely going to be helpful for millions of Internet users.
Although there is no exact arrival date still, I am waiting anxiously for this one.
Chat Memory for Meta Ai
Most WhatsApp users know about the Meta Ai, which is the artificial intelligence chat systme merge in WhatsApp.
In the initial days, the AI system is not that much advanced, but the WhatsApp team is continuously trying to make it better day by day.
Till now, there is no effective memory system in the Ai is present, and you need to tell it everything from the start, just like a toddler again and again.
By keeping this thing in view, WhatsApp is going to introduce the Chat Memory for Meta Ai.
The main aim of this is to make the memory of the AI system more strong and advanced.
The main advantage of this feature will be that you don’t need to put every information again and again if you have ever provided it before.
For Example, if you tell your age, gender, and purpose to WhatsApp Meta Ai, now it will remember it and provide you suggestions regarding it in all your future conversations.
Camera Effect
This feature or update is specially meant for camera and filter lovers.
Various chatting or calling apps like WhatsApp allow users to add filters during video calls and have an engaging experience.
To date, there is no such feature present in the WhatsApp.
But now WhatsApp is officially going to introduce the camera effect feature.
This will enhance the video calling experience and provide the users the chance to apply whatever filter or background to their calls.
It will even help you to apply unique colors to the pictures you make through the WhatsApp cameras.
Get Link on Google
As a WhatsApp User for more than 5 years, I can witness how much WhatsApp itself is concerned related to the user’s security and privacy.
And hope you also have noticed it.
But there are a lot of cases in which spammy links can create a lot of difficulty and harm the privacy of users.
To erase this concern of users and make the platform more reliable for them, WhatsApp is going to roll out a feature named Get Links on WhatsApp.
The purpose of this feature is to check the links before it will cause any harm or benefit to your device.
So, after rolling out this update, when you receive any link on your account from any know or unknown person, you have the option to check whether it is safe or not.
For Example, Whenever you receive a link from an unknown person but are confused about whether you should open it or not.
You need to hard-click on it then it will show you some options. Here, you need to select the option get link on the web.
Then, it will redirect you to Google, where you can find out about the history of the relevant link.
In recent years, the cray of using stickers while chatting on WhatsApp has been hyped.
But, we need to install the third-party sticker packs as there are not many fascinating stickers present on Whatsapp.
But now WhatsApp is going to provide us relief from the third-party sticker application by integrating the feature named Create and Share Stickers Pack.
That means you can covert any image from your galley into a sticker and share it with anyone, and even edit it whenever you want, according to your preference.
This feature sounds so cool, and I hope it will meet your expectations.
Chat and Talk With Meta Ai
This feature, Chat and Talk With Meta Ai, is also related to the Artificial intelligence chatbot of WhatsApp.
This feature aims to make the chatbot more advance and enhance the chatting experience.
We are able to chat with the meta Ai through the text.
But Due to this, you will be able to chat through text or even through voice.
WhatsApp doesn’t want to leave any opportunity to provide its users with the best.
But let’s see how far this feature will go.
Notification for Group Chats
