WhatsApp introduces Instagram-like Music Sharing feature for Status Updates
WhatsApp is regularly testing new features and enhancements through beta updates. This time, WhatsApp is working on one of the most anticipated features which is the ability to share music through status updates, similar to what you can do on Instagram.
Android users can verify the latest WhatsApp beta update with version 2.24.22.11, available through the Google Play Beta Program. Currently, the music sharing feature is under development and will soon be available for users.
The new feature will let users add their favorite songs to their status updates. After choosing a photo or video, a music button will appear, allowing users to search for specific songs or artists easily. This means you can personalize your status updates and share the perfect soundtrack with your friends, just like on Instagram.
Users have highly requested this feature, as adding a soundtrack elevates your status and helps convey your emotions. Adding music is particularly exciting because it lets users express themselves in new ways. Whether you want to share a favorite song or set a specific mood, the music-sharing feature of WhatsApp will enhance how you share moments with your friends and family.
Currently, several users add songs to their photos via another application and then post them as statuses on WhatsApp. With this new feature, WhatsApp makes it easy to add a soundtrack directly within the status updates interface, instead of having to edit it in another app first.
The music-sharing feature of WhatsApp is currently under development. Stay tuned for more information.
WhatsApp is releasing a new update with version 2.24.22.9 for Android users. This beta update of WhatsApp introduces a chat memory feature for Meta AI that aims to make your conversations with the chatbot more personalized.
Earlier, WhatsApp announced a voice chat mode, allowing you to talk to Meta AI in real-time instead of typing. Now, the new chat memory feature will take this personalization a step further.
The chat memory feature of the Meta AI will automatically remember details you share on WhatsApp. This can include things like whether you are vegan, your birthday, your preferred conversation style, and even your interests, such as favorite books or types of documentaries.
By remembering the above-mentioned details, Meta AI can offer responses and recommendations that are more relevant to you. Let’s take an example: if you ask for food suggestions, Meta AI will avoid recommending dishes you don’t like or are allergic to, making the conversation more useful and enjoyable.
Notably, you will have full control over what Meta AI remembers. You can easily update or delete any information whenever you want. The new chat memory feature is currently under development and will be available in a future WhatsApp update
WhatsApp is continuously working to improve its app, and the new beta is now rolling out for Android, which brings a new icon for Meta AI. The freshly designed icon is available for users with version 2.24.22.7 through the Google Play Beta Program.
The new update of Whatsapp has redesigned the Meta AI icon, which now features a grey and muted color. This change aims to make it easier for users to find and use Meta AI, which offers AI-powered assistance directly within the app.
Previously, the Meta AI icon was colorful and animated, which many users found distracting. Several feedbacks on social media indicated that the bright design didn’t match WhatsApp’s simpler look. Users raised their concerns and requested a more subtle design that would blend in better with the app’s overall appearance.
With this beta update, the new Meta AI icon blends in nicely with the search bar to make it easier for users to find the feature without it being too distracting. The new design is static and simple.
Aside from this, WhatsApp is also testing several ways to access Meta AI such as through a dedicated chatbot or the search bar, based on user preferences in different regions.
The new Meta AI icon is currently rolling out to select beta testers. WhatsApp plans to expand its availability to more users in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more information.
WhatsApp rolls out custom lists for better chat organization
WhatsApp is ready to elevate the messaging experience with its latest beta (2.24.22.5) update for Android users. The fresh beta update rolling out a new WhatsApp feature that allows users to filter chats using custom lists.
With custom lists, users can organize their conversations better. It means that you can create special filters to find specific chats more quickly, whether for personal use or business.

The new filters appear at the top of your chat list for easy navigation. In addition, these lists are private, so only you can see and manage them. You can also add or remove people from your lists and rename them whenever you want via the customization option present at the bottom of the chat list.
Notably, WhatsApp allows users to create up to 20 custom lists. This limit helps avoid clutter and keeps your chat filters easy to use. Users can manage all their lists in the app settings to first see the conversations that matter most to them.
