WhatsApp Upcoming Features: After rolling out several new features in the past few days, WhatsApp is now testing a new chat interface and other new features. These will be rolled out for Android and iPhone users. The new features include a new design for the app as well as updates to the WhatsApp Plus premium subscription. The company is also working on a new chat bubble that will look more rounded and modern. New ringtones, new sticker discovery tools, and new search tools are also being developed.

Chat Interface Will Change

According to reports, the message bubble is going to be given a new look. The focus is on making the new design softer and more rounded. After this update, text messages, as well as photos and videos, will appear in a new way. The company aims to give chatting a clean and modern feel with this design.

Statuses of unsaved contacts will also be visible.

Until now, you can only view the statuses of saved contacts on WhatsApp. Now, the company is expanding this feature, allowing you to view the statuses of contacts you've recently interacted with.

WhatsApp Plus

Reports have been surfacing for the past few days that the company may introduce a new subscription plan, WhatsApp Plus. While pricing is unknown, it's believed that paying for it could provide additional features, including the ability to pin up to 20 chats simultaneously, special themes, and customized ringtones. It's worth noting that even with the introduction of the paid plan, WhatsApp will remain free to use. Users won't have to pay for calling, messaging, or file sharing.
