WhatsApp's new feature to add, edit contacts within app on Android

With more than 2 billion users, WhatsApp is the most widely used messaging service. End-to-end encryption and cross-platform compatibility contribute to its high user popularity, particularly in India. The Meta-owned platform has added a lot of significant and little yet helpful additions during the last few months. To make the most of this app, everyone should be aware of these 5 new WhatsApp features.

Send pictures in high quality

In order to maintain image quality and details, Meta has finally enabled a feature that enables users to send high-definition (HD) photographs straight on WhatsApp. Both Android and iOS users may now send HD pictures on WhatsApp. In a similar vein, Meta is reportedly working on allowing WhatsApp’s HD video-sharing feature.

On WhatsApp, you can reply to a message with a little video. The ability to send brief movies while speaking with friends and family is a brand-new feature that gives Meta’s WhatsApp a whole new dimension.

Unknown callers should be muted

If you’re tired of getting calls from random people on WhatsApp, the Meta-owned messaging service now offers the option to automatically mute calls from random numbers to increase privacy. Users can now choose to mute incoming voice and video calls from strangers to avoid being bothered by them.

Change messages

Have you recently sent a hastily composed WhatsApp message that you want to repeat? The platform now enables users to change a text message on WhatsApp, so you may do the same there. A SMS message can only be modified once every 15 minutes, and the recipient will be notified when this happens.

private, secure talks

A new layer of privacy has been added to WhatsApp with the addition of Chat Lock, which allows users to lock certain chats and ensure that they can only be viewed with authentication. This feature is especially useful for those who may have to share their smartphone with others.
