WhatsApp is committed to staying up to date and providing useful features to its users. That’s why it’s not strange that in 2024 they received it with everything, launching a large number of very interesting news. Don’t know all the new features WhatsApp has brought to your mobile phone? In this article we will list the 5 New WhatsApp Features Launching in 2024 that you can’t miss.
WhatsApp Favorites List, For Your Most Loved Contacts
To make your life easier, WhatsApp now lets you add a new list called Favorites to your Favorite Contacts. The function of this list, for now, is that these contacts appear first when you make video calls, since they will be immediately listed in the same tab. To add contacts to this list, you must go to Settings > Favorites > Add favorite.
Sending images in HD, so as not to lose the quality of the photos
It used to be a shame to send high-resolution images, because WhatsApp would reduce their quality as soon as they were sent via chat. Now this can be avoided, thanks to the new settings in the app. To get it, you just need to go to Settings > Storage and data > Media file upload quality > HD quality. In our article on How to send photos in HD quality on WhatsApp, we extend the tutorial in more detail.
Events on WhatsApp, so you don’t miss any releases
WhatsApp can now also help groups of contacts organize themselves better in terms of meetings, parties, or other types of group gatherings. With the Events feature, everyone can do it access its details (reason for the event, location, date and time)without having to search through a thousand messages. We have already talked about this How to create an event on WhatsApp with detailed step by step.
Airplane mode, for when you want to isolate yourself from the messaging platform
Another very useful function is the one that allows you stop your whatsapp from receiving messages without affecting the rest of the applications. They call it “WhatsApp airplane mode” and to learn how to use it you can follow our tutorial.
Search messages by date and time, if possible

Now things are much faster and easier, thanks to the search function. To search for messages by date and time on WhatsApp, all you have to do is follow the steps described in our tutorial.
Now that you know these handy WhatsApp features, you can have more control over your app and how you manage it from your mobile.
