Thu 24 August 2023:
On Wednesday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that users can now start a WhatsApp group without giving it a name.
This functionality will be available globally in the next weeks. “You’re welcome to embed his post within your piece,” he said in his post.
It is useful when “you need to create a group in a hurry, or you don’t have a group topic in mind”, said the company.
Unnamed groups of up to 6 participants will now be dynamically named based on who is in a group, the company announced.
The group name will display differently for each participant, based on how they have contacts saved in their phone.
If you are added into a group with people who do not have your contact saved, your phone number will appear within the group name.
“You can now instantly record and send video messages in chats,” the company said.
This feature can be accessed by tapping on the microphone icon in chats to switch to video.
The platform is also rolling out support for screen sharing in video calls. Users will see a new “screen share” button when they start a video call.
According to the company, these features will be available in the following weeks.
Last month, the messaging platform added landscape mode support for video calls as well as the option to silence unknown callers on iOS.
WhatsApp users can now send photos in HD quality, according to Zuckerberg.
