1. Chat Edit: WhatsApp rolled out this feature in May 2023, this update allows you to edit a message after it’s been sent. So users can correct typos or rephrase sentences.

2. Whatsapp on multiple phones: It’s now possible to have WhatsApp running on multiple phones. This feature allows you to have a primary phone and a secondary phone both offering up your WhatsApp chats, allowing you to send and receive from either device.

3. Send your location to a contact: WhatsApp allows you to send photos and videos to contacts, as well as share a contact or document, but you can also send your location.

4. Save your data usage: If you’ve got a limited data allowance, you don’t want WhatsApp munching it all away. Thankfully, you can customise when media is allowed to download, as well as ensure calls use as little data as possible.
