LogicalShout WhatsApp Updates: What’s New This Week

WhatsApp is one of the most used messaging apps in the world. Millions of people use it every day to send messages, make calls, and share media. Because of this, even small updates can affect a lot of users. LogicalShout is known for covering these updates clearly and quickly. This week, there are a few new changes and features that WhatsApp has introduced, and LogicalShout has shared all the important details.

Here is a summary of what’s new in WhatsApp this week, as reported by LogicalShout.

1. Voice Chats in Groups

One of the main updates this week is the rollout of voice chats for group conversations. This feature is different from a regular group call. It lets group members join and leave the voice chat at any time, without ringing everyone in the group.

Key points about this feature:

• Voice chats can be started by any group member

• Only group members can join the chat

• Participants can see who is talking in real-time

• It is available for groups with 33 or more members

• You need the latest version of WhatsApp to use it

This makes group communication smoother, especially for teams, friends, or study groups.

2. New Text Formatting Options

WhatsApp has added new text formatting features to make messages clearer and organised. These options are now available in both individual and group chats.

New formatting options include:

• Bullet lists

• Numbered lists

• Block quotes

• Inline code

To use these formats, you can type certain characters before your message. For example, use a hyphen (-) for a bullet point or a backtick (`) for inline code.

These features help when sending longer messages, lists, or instructions.

3. Pinning Multiple Messages

Before this update, users could pin only one message per chat. Now, WhatsApp allows users to pin multiple messages in the same chat. This helps keep important messages at the top for quick access.

Details:

• You can now pin up to three messages per chat

• Works in both group and individual chats

• You can unpin or replace pinned messages anytime

• Helps highlight messages like links, rules, or important updates

This feature is useful for group admins, teachers, or anyone managing a busy conversation.

4. Improved Privacy Settings for Group Invites

This week’s update also focuses on privacy. WhatsApp has updated its group invite settings, giving users more control over who can add them to groups.

New options include:

• Everyone

• My contacts

• My contacts except…

• Nobody

These settings can be found under WhatsApp Settings > Privacy > Groups.

It helps users avoid being added to random groups without their permission.

5. Status Archive for WhatsApp Business Users

For users of WhatsApp Business, a new feature has been added called Status Archive. This lets business owners automatically save their status updates to a private archive.

How it works:

• Statuses are saved for up to 30 days

• Users can re-share archived statuses later

• It makes it easy to keep track of marketing content

This is helpful for small businesses that use WhatsApp to promote products or services.

6. Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

Like most weekly updates, WhatsApp has also fixed several small bugs and improved the overall performance of the app. These changes are not always visible, but they help the app run faster and more smoothly.

Some common fixes include:

• Improved voice and video call quality

• Faster media upload and download

• Better support for low-speed networks

• Fewer crashes or app freezes

These updates are part of WhatsApp’s effort to improve user experience.
