1. The 'Manage Storage' tool helps you bin those massive files without deleting your entire chat history

Users can now hunt down specific heavy-hitting media in individual threads.

It's perfect for those times when a single group chat from 2024 held your phone storage hostage with unread memes.

2. For those looking to make the jump between platforms, there's 'Cross-platform chat transfer'

You can now move your digital life from iOS to Android, and back again, with just a few taps.

iOS users can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the app now supports two accounts on one device.

You can officially stop carrying two phones around to separate work and family chats. Your profile picture now sits clearly in the bottom tab, so you always know which persona you are currently using. It's a small UI tweak that solves a massive headache for the work-life balance struggle.

You can now swap out backgrounds or remove distracting photobombers directly in the chat window before hitting the send button.

5. There's also a new AI 'Writing Help' feature designed to draft suggested responses

It helps you find the right words based on your conversation while keeping your private data completely secure and encrypted.
