Alert for billions of WhatsApp users – four big changes have arrived on Android

WHATSAPP has ushered in a set of new features – which are currently exclusive for Android users.

Apple iPhone owners will unfortunately have to wait for a future update to access most of these fresh tricks.

Document caption: Users can now add captions when sending documents.

Longer group info: Users can add lengthier (and funnier) descriptions of their group chats.

Share up to 100 media: Users can send up to 100 photos and videos at a time – much more than the previous 30-strong limit.

This feature is a must-have for holiday goers and party-havers.

Avatars: Perhaps the most exciting new feature is the introduction of personalised avatars.

Users can create an avatar to use as a sticker or profile picture – similar to those on Snapchat and Apple.

Although, WhatsApp originally introduced this feature in a previous update.

But the Meta-owned social messaging company has noticed such little traction with the avatar feature that it has reiterated its existence in the official ‘changelog’ of the latest update.

The so-called changelog lists every change made in each update.

If users don’t yet have these features, they are advised to wait for the next update.
