Whatsapp Features: WhatsApp keeps bringing new features every few days but many of us use it only for chat and calls. Meanwhile, many such advanced features have been quietly added to the app which improve your privacy, convenience and chatting experience. Let us know what these features are and why they are important.

Automatic high-quality photo sharing

Most messaging apps compress photos but in WhatsApp you can now always send photos and videos in HD quality. No need to select it separately by pressing HD icon, you can set it as default. For this, go to Settings > Storage and Data > Media Upload Quality and select HD. Although this will use a little more storage, the quality of the photos remains excellent.

Secure your account with a password

WhatsApp now supports passkey login in which your face or fingerprint is your identity. If the phone is stolen or someone tries to setup your WhatsApp, the app will not be able to open without your biometric ID. To turn it on, go to Settings > Account > Passkeys. You can also activate end-to-end encrypted backup in Chats > Chat Backup.

Run two WhatsApp accounts on the same phone

Earlier, to run two numbers, app clone or WhatsApp Business was required. Now WhatsApp has made the multi-account feature available for all Android users. Go to the three-dot menu > Settings and tap the + icon next to your name. Follow a few steps and your second account is ready without any additional apps.

Instant translation within chat

Want to read a message in another language? Now there is no need to open a separate app. Long press the message, select More and tap Translate. Translations will appear immediately once the language pack is downloaded. If you want, you can also turn on auto-translation for the entire chat thread, which makes reading foreign language chats very easy.

AI based smart summary for group chats

Missed the ongoing group chat?

Meta AI’s new Message Summaries feature creates a short and clear summary of the entire chat for you. If there is an unread message, the option of Summarise Privately will appear. This feature is processed in the phone itself, meaning your chat does not go to Meta. However, currently it is available in limited languages ​​and regions.

According to WABetaInfo’s report, this feature has been seen in the Android version 2.25.21.23 of Whatsapp Beta. Currently, some selected beta testers have got this feature and in the coming weeks it will also be made available for other users.

How to work?

Till now, users on WhatsApp could have set their profile photos only with camera, gallery, avatar or AI image. But after the new update, when you go to edit profiles, you will also see the option to choose photos from Instagram and Facebook. That is, if there is an old photo on your Insta or FB, which you now want to put on WhatsApp, then you will not have to download it nor take a screenshot. You will be able to set the same photo on whatsapp in just one click without losing quality.

Accounts will have to do SYNC

To use this feature, the user has to link their Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram accounts to the Meta Accounts Center. META started providing this facility earlier this year and now many inter-connected features have also come through it.

Meta is constantly trying to connect its platforms. Now users can share the Instagram story directly on WhatsApp and add WhatsApp button to business accounts so that customers can reach WhatsApp directly. This new feature of WhatsApp will not only make users’ profile settings easier but will also prove to be another major step towards better integration among the Meta apps.
