Besides camera zoom controls, the WhatsApp update also brings improved home screen widgets for chats. Now iOS users can select categories like recent, favorite, pinned, and frequently contacted. The uniqueness of these widgets is that they provide real-time data updates and better integration with system functionality. WhatsApp is gradually rolling out this new iOS feature. It will reach all users in the coming days.

New functionality for reacting to messages
WhatsApp has started rolling out the feature allowing users to react to messages with the recently introduced emoji. WABetaInfo spotted this feature in WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.24.22.16. According to the report, beta testers see recent emojis in the reaction bar to react to messages. This will save users a lot of time as they won’t need to open the emoji picker and scroll through the entire category to react to the message. It is expected that after the completion of beta testing, the company will roll out its stable version to users around the world.
