Get Ready for WhatsApp's New Blast: From Vibrant Themes to AI Widgets!
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): The world's most popular instant messaging platform WhatsApp has brought a big update for its millions of users. The company has started rolling out 5 new and useful features simultaneously, which are going to completely change the experience of using WhatsApp. These new features include great options like colorful chat themes, better notifications, unread message counter, video playback speed control and AI widget on the home screen. WhatsApp has always given priority to user privacy and better experience. Before releasing the new features, they were tested with beta testers and now the stable version is being rolled out for all users. These new features will not only make WhatsApp more attractive but will also make many tasks of the users easier.
Let us know about these 5 new features
Colorful chat theme: Now WhatsApp users can make their chats colorful according to their choice. The company has given the option of 20 different colorful chat themes and 30 new wallpapers. With the arrival of this feature, users will be able to make their chats more fun by personalizing them.
Clear chat notifications: WhatsApp has also improved the notification system. Earlier, when a message arrived, only a dot was visible on the app icon, which was sometimes not clear. Now, with the new feature, users will get clear chat notifications, which will let them know how many messages have come. This feature can be accessed in the notification settings.
Unread chat counter in filters: Last year, WhatsApp introduced the chat filters feature. Now, the company has added a counter for unread messages in the filter itself. This will let users know instantly how many unread messages they have, making it easier to find and respond to important messages.
Playback speed for videos: Like audio notes, users will now be able to control the playback speed of WhatsApp videos as well. With the new feature, users can watch videos at 1.5x and 2x speed. This feature will be extremely useful for those who want to watch long videos in less time.
Meta AI widget on home screen: WhatsApp users can now use the Meta AI chatbot directly on their phone's home screen. The AI chatbot widget can be added to the home screen by going to the Personalization option and from the Widgets section. Tapping on the widget will open the Meta AI chatbot window, making the use of the AI chatbot even more convenient.
With the rollout of these new features, the use of WhatsApp is expected to become even more fun and easy. Users will soon start getting all these features in their app through updates.
