WhatsApp is the most used messaging platform globally and it adds new features from time to time to improve user experience. Continuing on that path, WhatsApp has launched a new Home screen widget designed specifically for chats. The update brings the app to version 24.21.81, which is now available for iPhone users.
Customizable widget options
Once updated, users can easily add widgets to the Home screen through the Edit interface. This widget allows for personalized access, allowing users to choose from categories such as Recent, Favorites, Pinned or Frequently Contacted. This feature promises to streamline communication by providing quick access to the most important conversations right from the Home screen.

In addition to the new widget, WhatsApp has introduced improvements to the built-in camera, allowing users to zoom from 0.5x to 3x. This update aims to improve photography capabilities, making it easier to take photos at various distances. Furthermore, users can now mention friends in their Status updates by simply tapping the @ button in the editor, promoting more interactive and engaging posts.
