New Feature Roundup: Free up space, multiple accounts, cross-platform transfer and more

Over time, WhatsApp chats become a record of the moments that matter: conversations with family, laughs with friends, the photos and videos users couldn’t stop sharing. To help them make the most of all of it, WhatsApp is rolling out new ways to make it even easier to use — whether it is about staying organized, juggling work and personal, or getting more out of every chat.

Free up space, keep what matters: As the chats fill up, so can the clutter. Now users can find and delete large files directly within any chat, to clear what they don’t need without wiping the entire conversation. Simply tap the chat name and select Manage Storage. They can also choose to clear just media files when clearing a chat – keeping the chat history intact.

Cross-platform chat transfer made easy: WhatsApp’s chat transfer feature now supports moving the chat history from iOS to Android, in addition to within the same platform. Changing phones shouldn’t be complicated. Now, with just a couple taps, the conversations, photos, and videos easily get transferred.

Two accounts, one phone – now on iOS: Users can now have two WhatsApp accounts logged in at the same time on iOS—just like on Android. No more carrying two phones to keep work and personal separate. Users will always know which account they are in because the profile picture will now be visible in the bottom tab.

Stickers that match the mood: Stickers can bring bigger, bolder expressions to the chats—and now WhatsApp will make it easier to use them by suggesting them as one types emojis. With just a tap, users can swap an emoji for a sticker that captures exactly how they are feeling.

Photo touch-ups with Meta AI: Users can now use Meta AI to touch up photos directly in their chat before sending, making it easy to remove something distracting, swap in a new background, or apply a fun style. Meta AI features may not be available to all users.

AI Writing Help is even more useful: Writing Help can now draft a suggested response based on the conversation, so users can get the message just right – all while keeping the chats completely private.

These features are rolling out now and will be available to everyone soon. Hopefully, these features will make WhatsApp even simpler to use.
