WhatsApp Update brings four new features to users worldwide, including the ability for iPad users to create and use WhatsApp accounts directly on their tablets.
Google Selfie Video: Google launches selfie video account recovery feature
Under the latest update, iPad users no longer need to link their WhatsApp account to a mobile phone. Instead, they can complete the registration process on the iPad and begin using the app immediately.
CarPlay and Android Auto receive new tools
WhatsApp has also expanded support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Drivers can now listen to messages and reply hands-free while driving. In addition, they can make calls, check call history and access favourite contacts directly from their vehicle’s display.
PDF and music sharing get major upgrades
The platform has improved its PDF experience by allowing users to open PDF files without downloading them first.
Users can also perform basic edits, including highlighting text and adding notes, without leaving the app.
Meanwhile, Apple Music and Spotify users can now share the songs they are currently listening to directly to their WhatsApp Status.
Global rollout underway
WhatsApp said it is rolling out the new features gradually to users worldwide. Availability may vary depending on the user’s device and region.
