1. Dialer Feature: WhatsApp’s upcoming dialer feature has made its appearance once again in the latest beta version, indicating that its release is imminent. This feature will allow you to call contacts directly without the need to save their numbers. Additionally, you’ll be able to message new contacts by simply dialing their number within the app, eliminating the hassle of saving their information beforehand. Perfect for those temporary contacts you might only need to reach out to once or twice.

1. Hidden Groups: WhatsApp is introducing a new feature called “Hidden groups,” which will provide more privacy for community admins. These groups will remain hidden from regular users and will only be visible to admins, who will have the authority to locate and remove them. Furthermore, only invited members will have access to these hidden groups, ensuring a more exclusive and secure communication environment.

1. Passkeys for iOS: iOS users can rejoice as WhatsApp is finally rolling out password-less logins through Passkeys. This feature, previously available on Android, allows users to log in using Face ID, Touch ID, or their device’s passcode. According to WhatsApp spokesperson Zade Alsawah, iOS users can expect Passkeys to be available in the upcoming weeks, offering a more convenient and secure login method.
