WhatsApp typically trials new features in the beta version of its app.

And the tech sleuths at WABetaInfo dig into these beta tests to reveal what’s coming up.

Now five big changes being developed by WhatsApp have been revealed.

They offer big changes to how you use the app each day.

Sadly we can’t say exactly when these features will roll out.

Some of them will be available to test in the beta right now, while others are still “under development”.

But eventually they should all make it to the live version of WhatsApp.

Always keep your WhatsApp updated to the latest version to make sure you’ve got all the newest tricks.
