Message Reactions

Message reaction will be a big update for WhatsApp, even though this feature is already available on the social media app. WhatsApp has been undertaking tests for reactions on messages in chat. This feature will let you react with emoji and currently, six emoji reactions have been confirmed. You will also be able to see which emoji reacted to your message.

Communities

'Community' on WhatsApp is another big feature which will be launched soon. This feature will allow users to connect different WhatsApp groups together in one community. According to the report, WhatsApp will allow you to add 10 groups together in a community. There will be an 'Announce' section which will be only for the admins through which a message can be sent which will be received by all groups of the community. The community will also have a square icon with round edges, which is opposite to the group chat icon which is round.

Android To iOS Chat Transfer

WhatsApp launched a feature this year - chat transfer between iOS and Android. You can transfer your chat history from your iPhone to Android device. Although this is remarkable, there's no device to transfer WhatsApp chats from your Android phone to the iPhone. But WhatsApp is currently working on this feature and it is expected to roll out soon.

Sticker Store

Stickers on WhatsApp are large but this feature is not easily available on desktops and web apps. But WhatsApp has added the Sticker Store to the beta version of its desktop app. Previously, you could not access the StickerStore, which has the original WhatsApp sticker packs. It is available on the Beta app for now, but it is soon expected that Whatsapp will make it widely available. WhatsApp also launched its sticker maker tool for desktop and web apps.

More Control For Admins

WhatsApp group chat gives more control to Group Chat admin and is planning to expand it. Soon Group chat admins on WhatsApp will be able to delete any messages sent by members. If a message has been deleted by the group admin, it will be communicated to everyone in the group. This will be different from the disappearing message because group admins will be able to use it when they want.

Businesses Nearby

WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will make it easier for users to search for business on the app. In the search tool, by the name of Businesses Nearby, there will be a new section and you will get to see many filters like restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, and much more. These are like filters for image, video, gif on WhatsApp.
