Meta is introducing another bundle of features just in time for the holidays. This update is packed with exciting new additions including missed call messages, fun Status stickers, and more – making it easier than ever to connect with those who matter most.
Calls
Missed call messages: The holidays are a busy time for catching up with loved ones and sometimes you may not reach someone right away. If they don’t answer, you can now record a voice or video note, depending on the call type, in one tap for them to listen to later. This new approach will make voicemails a thing of the past.
Reactions in voice chats: Voice chats help you quickly shift between messaging and talking live without ringing the whole group. Now you can react during a voice chat, so you can share a quick ‘cheers!’ without interrupting the conversation.
Group call speaker spotlight: On video calls, the speaker is automatically prioritized to help you follow along more easily.
Chats
Meta AI image creation improvements: Meta AI has delivered new image generation model capabilities from Midjourney and Flux on WhatsApp so you’ll notice huge improvements when creating annual holiday greetings to share in your chats or status.
New media tab on desktop: Search for your documents, links, and media across chats all in one organized place – making it easier to find files and get things done faster on Mac, Windows and Web.
Cleaner link previews: Meta has improved the look of link previews, streamlining long URL links to avoid disrupting the chat and keep the conversation flowing.
Updates
New stickers on Status: Meta has added more ways to express yourself on Status including the addition of music lyrics, questions to which others can respond to, and interactive stickers you can tap to engage with.
Questions on Channels: Meta has also introduced questions on Channels so admins can better engage with their audience and get responses in real-time.
Stay tuned for more new features and updates soon!
