WhatsApp is possibly the best instant messaging application available right now, but the company is not looking to settle down anytime soon. The Facebook-owned company today pushed a new update to its iOS users with version number 2.18.30, which added the much-awaited time and location stickers to the photo editing tools. But that’s not all, this update comes with a lot of hidden features, which WhatsApp will enable in the upcoming updates. After starting its work on group calls for Android, WhatsApp has finally started working on group calls feature for iOS as well, meaning Apple iPhone users will also get this feature in the first phase itself.

Also, the 2.18.30 update allows users to search for a participant right from the group info itself, a nice little feature to have around. This feature was introduced in WhatsApp Android version a couple of weeks ago. Here’s the official changelog of the WhatsApp 2.18.30 for iOS:
- When editing a photo or video, tap the smiley icon to add time or location stickers.
- From group info, you can now search the list of group participants
Aforesaid, these are the features WhatsApp has introduced officially to the users, as per WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has started working on a lot of new features. Firstly, group voice calls. Recently, we reported that WhatsApp would be rolling out group voice calls feature to Android users very soon and the company has started working on group voice calls feature for iOS as well. With the Group Voice Call feature, a user can add up to three persons to a voice calls, but there’s no update on group video calling though.
