New Features in WhatsApp Beta 2.24.16.14
The latest WhatsApp Beta update, version 2.24.16.14, has introduced several new features to enhance user experience. Here are some of the key updates:
1. Create and Send Events in Groups: Users can now create and send events in groups by tapping the ‘+’ button and selecting ‘Event’. This feature is expected to roll out over the coming weeks.
2. Double Tap Message Reactions: WhatsApp has borrowed a feature from Instagram, allowing users to react to messages with a double tap. The reaction will be a heart emoji, similar to Instagram. If users want to react with a different emoji, they will still need to long press the message to bring up the reaction tray.
