WhatsApp has launched some brand new features that Android users are already enjoying. But those with an iPhone will have to wait for a future update.
Users of the app will now be able to add captions to documents they send. And the introduction of fun personalised avatars is already getting people excited, the Mirror reports.
Group chats will now be able to have more lengthy descriptions. There will also be fewer limits on the number of photos and videos you can send, with people now able to send up to 100 at a time.

However, iPhone users have been left waiting for the new features. They have been told the changes will kick in in a future update, but it is not clear how long this will be.
On Wednesday, Apple users were urged to install an update, which fixed a number of bugs and issues. The update was rolled out on most Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Watch and HomePods.
The new software has sorted some security loopholes, so people with an iPhone are encouraged to install it as soon as possible. Those with an Apple computer should update it to MacOS13.2.1, the latest version of Ventura, as this includes a fix for a security problem found in Safari, the ready-installed web browser.
The bug let anyone to run their own code by exploiting a loophole, Apple said, which could be used by hackers. The company said it was “aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited”.
“Improved checks” will be used to fix this problem, Apple said. A similar update is available for people using older versions of MacOS.
The latest iPhone update addresses bugs in iCloud and Sire. It also brings “optimisations” to the Crash Detection feature in iPhone 14 models and the latest Apple watch.
Crash Detection automatically calls the emergency services when it detects the user has been in a car accident. But people with the feature on their phones reported emergency calls being made when they were on rollercoaster or if they fell over when skiing.
The new Apple update aims to make sure Crash Detection only makes an emergency call if there has been a real car crash. It relies on hardware inside phones, so Apple is changing the algorithm that checks the data.
