WhatsApp Double Tap To Seek Feature

WhatsApp recently announced the launch of a new feature that allows users to double-tap a video’s edge to fast-forward or reverse it, improving navigation and allowing users to skip less important parts. iOS users who have the most recent version of WhatsApp from the App Store installed will be able to enjoy features including the ability to forward and rewind videos, send video messages, and use an improved attachment tray.

Among other updates, WhatsApp has also released the feature to instantly record and send video messages in chats. While the feature has already been available for some time, users can now record video messages by long pressing the camera button next to the text field in a conversation to get started. WhatsApp also highlighted that all users could now explore the new design for the attachment tray, with the new WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.24.10.70 update.

WhatsApp AI Features

WhatsApp is introducing various AI features to enhance user experience. These new features include AI-powered chatbots, photo editing tools, and more. The upcoming features also include international UPI payments for AI features for editing photos, answering queries, and more.

Meta AI, a new assistant available on WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and soon on Ray-Ban Meta, allows users to interact with it like a person. It offers new AI experiences, such as AI stickers, image editing tools like Restyle and Backdrop, and an assistant that spans across apps and devices. Users can engage with Meta AI and other characters on WhatsApp to ask questions, get recommendations, and create AI-generated images in chats.

These AI features aim to provide users with innovative ways to communicate, express themselves, and access real-time information within their chats.
