This best WhatsApp features will be available in 2023

The famous messaging app WhatsApp is enhancing the instant messaging system; users may anticipate the addition of numerous new features this year. In 2022, WhatsApp presented a few updates and highlights, including Avatars, Message Yourself, Communities, In-chat polls, 32-person video calling, bigger groups, and many others.

1. Companion Mode:

One of WhatsApp’s biggest complaints is that users can’t sign in with the same account on multiple phones. The upcoming Companion Mode could soon change that, by allowing users to link their existing WhatsApp account or cell phone number to additional phones. When this mode is enabled, users are not disconnected from their primary mobile device when they sign in on a different phone. Ultimately, this will unlock the ability to use WhatsApp on an Android phone and an iPhone at the same time. Since the feature is presently in beta for Android, expect a stable release within the coming months.

2. Ability to recognize text in WhatsApp Images:

One of the most significant variations the popular encrypted messaging service is planning to launch this time is the ability to recognize text in images shared through WhatsApp, allowing users to copy and paste this text. However, the messaging platform is providing only support for it, and this feature will be available to iOS16 users only.

Users will be able to multitask and browse other apps while on a WhatsApp video call using the PIP mode. This feature is already available on Android and is expected to be available to all iOS users soon. The instant messaging platform has reportedly been testing the feature and has made it available to a small group of beta users, according to WABetaInfo.

Another improvement currently being worked on is the ability to transfer WhatsApp chat history between Android phones without the use of Google Drive. Using this technologically advanced alternative, users will find it much easier to transfer their chat history from one phone to another. When it’s ready, users can transfer their chats to Android by going to WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Chat transfer to Android, scanning the QR code, and then following the on-screen instructions.
