WhatsApp rolling out new feature to create and edit stickers within app
WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature, which lets users create and edit stickers within the app. This tool is designed to create stickers from images. With the help of this ability to turn photos of your own into stickers, users will be able to express themselves more uniquely and creatively.
To be mentioned, the process of creating stickers from photos is very easy, all you need to do is, access the sticker keyboard and select the create option. If you don’t find it useful, then, you can also do this, by directly opening the image, accessing the overflow menu, and choosing the Create sticker option.
In addition, WhatsApp also makes it possible to edit an existing sticker by selecting the edit sticker option. When a photo is selected, WhatsApp automatically opens the drawing editor, highlighting the subject within the image. This lets you modify the sticker as per your preference and choice.
However, if the result doesn’t align with your preferences and you seek a different style, then the app also offers a ray of alternative stickers at the bottom of the screen. Therefore, with the introduction of this new feature, WhatsApp significantly enhances convenience while saving users valuable time and effort.

Additionally, the ability to edit existing stickers further enhances flexibility, ensuring that users can create stickers to perfectly suit their needs. Also, this new feature is rolling out with version 2.24.6.5 and is currently available for some beta testers, however, it will roll out to more users in the coming weeks.
WhatsApp has rolled out a new stable update, which brings several useful features for managing communities and group chats. It is available for Android users with version 2.24.18.80 on the Google Play Store.
The fresh update adds the ability to transfer community ownership. Before, this was only available to those using the beta version of WhatsApp, but now it’s available to everyone.
Now, community owners can now easily hand over their admin rights to another admin. This can be done through the community settings, just select a new admin >> confirm the transfer, and the new owner will get a notification about their new role.
In addition, the update also brings an option to archive community group chats directly from the Chats tab. Previously, users could only do this from the Communities tab, but now they can achieve groups without switching tabs.
Not only this, the update also includes a feature that lets community admins hide certain group chats from general community members. This means admins can now keep specific discussions private, only visible to invited participants and other admins.
These features are being rolled out gradually, so if you don’t see them right away, they should be available in the coming weeks. To make sure you get these updates as soon as they’re available, keep your WhatsApp app updated through the Google Play Store.
WhatsApp bringing new feature to easily transfer community ownership
WhatsApp has released an essential update for its beta users, which fixes an issue with locked chats and filters. The new update is available through version 2.24.19.35 on the Google Play Beta Program.
The fresh beta update addresses an issue found in the previous beta version, 2.24.19.16. This beta version brought the Meta AI Assistant feature to help businesses by providing personalized insights and creating content for their catalogs, including images and ads.
However, users of this update encountered a major issue as the locked chats and chat filters stopped working properly. Mainly, users found that locked chats were missing from their interface, and they could not use filters to manage their conversations.
Several WhatsApp beta testers tried to fix the problem by restarting their devices or force-stopping the app, but these actions did not resolve the issue. This bug makes it difficult to access important conversations and navigate through messages.
Fortunately, WhatsApp has now fixed the issue with locked chats and filters through its latest beta update. After installing this update, users can once again access their locked chats and use chat filters.
If you are also testing the WhatsApp beta version on your Android devices, install the latest update to enjoy a smoother and error-free experience.
WhatsApp bringing new feature to easily transfer community ownership
WhatsApp is rolling out a new update for Android users, which brings the long-awaited transfer ownership feature to the community. This feature allows community owners to easily transfer their leadership role to another member.
Previously, if a WhatsApp community owner wanted to transfer ownership, they had to create a new community and ask everyone to join it. This was a long process and could lead to losing members and causing confusion.
Now, the new transfer ownership feature of WhatsApp resolves this issue by making it simple to pass on the leadership without any major disruptions and following a too-long process.
This feature appears in the community settings and makes it simple for current owners to transfer their leadership duties. Once the transfer is complete, the original owner will still be an admin but will lose the top decision-making capabilities.
They can continue to help manage and moderate the community, but won’t be able to make major changes like disabling the community or removing other admins.
The Transfer community ownership feature is currently available to some beta testers who have installed the WhatsApp beta version 2.24.19.34 from the Google Play Store. The company plans to roll it out to more users over the next few weeks.
