WhatsApp is the world's most popular instant messaging app. It constantly brings updates to improve the user experience. The platform has now rolled out 5 new features to enhance privacy, security and customization. These will make messaging more easy and convenient.

WhatsApp first tests its new features with beta users. Then releases them for everyone. Many tools were in the testing phase for the last few months and now their stable version is becoming available worldwide. These features will help in personalizing chats, improving notifications and making video playback easier. Let's take a look at these new changes.

Customize chats with colorful themes

WhatsApp users can now personalize their chats with colorful themes. Earlier the options for chat background were limited, but now 20 new vibrant chat themes and 30 new wallpapers have been added. With this feature, you can set the colors of your choice in conversations, which will give the app a fresh and personal look.

Clear notifications, stay away from distraction

Many users are bothered by the notification dot of unread messages. Especially when the number of messages is high. To fix this, WhatsApp has introduced the Clear Chat Notification feature. Now you can control how notifications appear from the notification settings and remove unwanted alerts.

Unread message counter in chat filters

Last year, WhatsApp launched chat filters, which made it easier to organize messages. Now a new Unread Chat Counter has been added to it. This will show users the exact number of unread messages in the chat filter itself, so that no important message is missed.

Adjust video playback speed

WhatsApp now allows users to change the video playback speed. Earlier it was only for voice notes, but now you can watch the video at 1.5x or 2x speed. This is very useful for watching long videos quickly.

Access AI chatbot instantly with Meta AI widget

WhatsApp is deeply integrating AI-powered features into its app. Now users can add the Meta AI Widget to their home screen, which will provide instant access to the AI chatbot. To set it up, go to Personalization > Widgets and place the AI widget on the home screen. With a single tap, the Meta AI chatbot will open and help you.
