WhatsApp features: Meta has brought in a handful of new features to WhatsApp in 2023, but which are the best ones? And no, we are not talking about the features that are pushed out for WhatsApp Beta on a constant basis. We are talking about the best of the best features available on the stable build of WhatsApp right now. Which ones are they? Well, we have compiled a list of the 7 best WhatsApp features released in 2023 until now that you need to know.
1. Same WhatsApp, Multiple devices: After years of waiting, WhatsApp finally gave us the ability to use our same WhatsApp account on multiple devices. So, the feature basically works like how you use WhatsApp Web. All you need to do is — suppose you want to run WhatsApp on a different phone. Simply, download WhatsApp on the new device, and while you’re on the screen that says enter your phone number, simply tap the three dots in the top-right and select Link to existing account. After that, scan the QR code from your primary phone, and voila, you can now run the same WhatsApp account on two smartphones. And you can simultaneously do this on 4 different devices, which is pretty cool and handy.
2. Chat lock:Chat Lock is another cool feature that has been a long time coming. Up until now, to hide chats, either you could archive them or lock WhatsApp altogether. But now, you can specifically lock WhatsApp chats. To do this, simply head over to the profile info screen of any chat contact that you’d like to lock. Then, scroll down to find the ‘Chat lock’ option. On the next screen, enable “Lock this chat with fingerprint”, authenticate and you are done.
