WhatsApp has released a new stable update for iOS users. As per WABetaInfo, The update is available on the Apple App Store, and users can download it on their iPhones. But does it come with any new features? As it turns out, the latest WhatsApp version for iOS has several new features, including Status Reactions, a feature that has been long in development. Here are all the new features of the latest WhatsApp for iOS. 

WhatsApp for iOS v22.21.75 features: Status Reactions

WhatsApp for iOS v22.21.75 is live on the App Store. Those using older versions of the app can head over to the App Store and update WhatsApp to get a hold of all the new features in the update. The main highlight of this update is the Status Reactions feature, which allows users to react to status updates posted by others, using emojis. Remember how Instagram lets users respond to others’ stories by swiping up and selecting one emoji from eight available options? The WhatsApp Status Reactions feature looks identical.

The update also comes with link creation for calls and better admin control 

The new version contains the ability to create and share a link for WhatsApp calls from the Calls tab. Since many people operate professionally on WhatsApp, the feature will come in handy to organise WhatsApp calls and invite people to the call. In the past, users have complained about pressing ‘delete for me’ by mistake and cannot get the message back. Well, WhatsApp has fixed that with the new iOS update, as the latest version has a feature that allows users to undo ‘delete for me’ for a few seconds.  

WhatsApp for iOS v22.21.75 also comes with a feature wherein only admins will be notified when someone leaves a group. To recall, the platform has been working on this feature for quite some time. Another feature that empowers the group admins allows them to delete others’ messages for everyone in a manner that all participants will see who deleted it. The feature will let admins tackle hate speech or inappropriate comments made in the group in a better way. It is important to mention that while WhatsApp is rolling out these features to iOS users, it might be a while before all of them get it. Unfortunately, there is no word on when these features will be available for Android users.
