WhatsApp has rolled out several new features, headlined by Group Status, which allows users to share status updates visible exclusively to group members. Participants can view, react to, like, and add their own statuses, which disappear after 24 hours.
The app now lets group admins share message history with new members after they join, not just during the initial invite — simply tap a member's name in the chat. Additionally, users can now pin messages in group chats permanently, removing previous time limits.
A new chat filter surfaces every unread group chat where the user was mentioned or received a direct reply, including @all messages, making it easier to catch up on relevant conversations.
