All-New Picture-in-Picture Feature on WhatsApp for iOS

Popular messaging app WhatsApp, just released a new and exciting feature that will change the way we interact with the app on iPhones. The latest update to the WhatsApp iOS app, version 23.3.77, introduces a revolutionary picture-in-picture feature for video calls. This will enable users to keep the feed alive while still being able to access other apps and respond to messages without leaving the call.

One of the biggest incentives for this new feature is the ability to use both the call and the other apps simultaneously. Until now, when you shifted to another application on your iPhone while on a video call, the video feed of the other person would stop. This new feature allows you to switch back and forth seamlessly between the call and other apps.

WhatsApp first announced the picture-in-picture feature for iOS last December and limited its testing to a select few. Along with this feature, the app has another great update for iOS and Android. Users can now input a caption while sending documents or images. The company is also testing the ability to send 100 pictures or documents at once, which is already available to Android users.

It also recently released a new set of features related to their Status update, which is their version of the Stories format. Users can now post voice updates, share emoji reactions, display rich link previews, restrict who can view an update, and show rings around the profile picture if they have uploaded a new Status.

Overall, WhatsApp is continuously working on expanding and improving their features, making it the go-to messaging app for many worldwide. With this latest update, the picture-in-picture feature for iOS video calls, WhatsApp is taking strides to make the user experience more seamless and enjoyable. Overall, this is a great update for all users on the app and will bring new possibilities to the table.
