If you use WhasApp regularly, this is of interest to you. The messaging company is launching a picture in picture feature in the latest update of WhatsApp for iOS. This way, WhatsApp users will be able to continue typing in a conversation or open another iPhone app without closing the video call they are making.
The feature is part of WhatsApp version 23.3.77 for iOS, although it was first offered to iOS beta testers released in December. Until now, if an iPhone user switched apps while on a WhatsApp video call, the person they were talking to would stop seeing the video. Starting this week, WhatsApp users on iOS will be able to reply to a message or enter another app without the call being interrupted.
iPhone users who want to use this feature must have devices with the iOS 12 operating system or higher, as well as the latest available version of WhatsApp.
In addition to picture in picture support, WhatsApp has also launched a number of new features for iOS and Android users. From now on, when sending a document we will be able to put a sentence as a “caption”, in the same way that can be done with images and videos.
The new update also allows you to insert longer group descriptions (which can be read by everyone who joins a group), adds a feature that allows you to send 100 images or documents at once, and allows you to create custom avatars that can be used as profile pictures or sent as stickers.
A series of new functions in addition to those launched at the beginning of the month, focused on WhatsApp statuses, which allow sending voice statuses. In addition, since last month, the app now allows you to upload images without losing quality and includes new shortcuts to block users more easily.
