I Must add that WhatsApp is definitely doing some good work. I once questioned why Whatsapp is so simple.

| Whatsapp New Update Oct 2022 - Top 10 Whatsapp New Features |
It now appears to be getting a little more complicated. It's simple, yet it's adding a lot of new functionality. In fact, I'll discuss 10–11 things that are in various phases of development.
Some have already rolled out, while others will very shortly. Although some features may have been available in Beta earlier, folks without Beta would not have had access to them until now.
They'll arrive during the coming days. Without further ado, let's get started.
Yes, we do a lot of research and gather information from here. Okay, everyone will like the first feature.
Avatars Are Coming
Now you can fit your avatar on your whatsapp profile pic like Snapchat. You are aware that the iPhone features a customizable Memoji. You can alter the avatar in a manner similar to that, but without the animation.
And send others some personalised emoji. It will be fantastic. It will be a very well-liked feature, I can assure you. This one is currently being tested and will launch very shortly.
React To Messages
Guys, you could previously only respond to messages and not status updates. You can now in this new functionality.
You will be able to react to status updates, yes. You could just see the status up until this point and think but not speak. You can do that right away at this point.
Audio Statuses
If you prefer listening instead of seeing a lot of things. For that, a new feature is forthcoming. You can now choose audio messages for your status updates. Audio Status is now accessible.
What do you think about the audio statuses, by the way? How many people will actually go and listen is uncertain to me. Although I doubt many people will pay attention, audio status is on the way.
Administration Update
I can think of one feature that will please group administrators. You can now delete a group member's message. It wasn't possible prior to now.
As the group administrator, you can now go and delete the messages. Delete any offensive messages that are posted by others. You can now maintain your group tidy and hygienic.
Groups History Record
There is also another group feature, by the way. Who has left the group and who hasn't in large gatherings is a common concern.
Guys, you can now view the history of the group members who have departed in the previous 60 days. It indicates that there is a history record of the previous 60 days, which I consider to be a positive and crucial feature.
Leaving The Group Silently.
Yes, it frequently happens that after leaving a group, it is noted that the member has done so. And it does not appear good. We continue reading the messages even when you have it muted since we don't want to make anyone sad.
You can now, however, quit the group in silence. Wow. Leave the group quietly if you wish to stop receiving "Good Morning" texts from your family members. Do it.
View Once
For your privacy, there will be one more crucial feature. A few months ago, a feature called "View Once" was introduced, which allows you to view a message only once before it vanishes.
Screen Shot Blocking
But some have argued that View Once is useless if you take a screenshot.
They are currently preventing the screenshot. People won't be able to screenshot your View Once message anytime soon thanks to a new feature.
Companion App.
You are aware of the issues you encounter if you use WhatsApp on several devices. Ask me. The tablet, computer, and cell phone are available. But with the Companion App, WhatsApp will now function flawlessly on tablets, phones, and even computers.
You can use WhatsApp on the web, your phone, and even tablets. On all three, it will sync right away. Thus, you can log in with a single account across many devices. The companion app is therefore coming, which is wonderful.
Video Sharing Link
Additionally, there is one function that is currently being rolled out and is crucial to the growth of the video calling capability, in my opinion. You may now share the video call's link with others. If it's a group call, you can distribute the link.
Before, people could join once you went inside the group and shared. Now, much as with regular Zoom meetings or Google Meet, you can share the link via email and messaging.
Through that link, the people can communicate. Additionally, the participant count has grown from 8 to 32 to, I believe, 64 or 128. Guys, you can use this video as your Whatsapp status.
