Following the launch of a separate WhatsApp for Business application and integrating UPI Payments in its native app, WhatsApp is reportedly testing a number of new features for Android through its beta program. A number of new features are spotted in latest WhatsApp beta versions for Android and iOS platforms. These features include group voice & video calling, group description, standalone iPad application, broader WhatsApp Pay support, and Facebook Messenger like Stickers. Let’s take a look at the features WhatsApp planning to introduce in the next updates.

Add Group Description
WhatsApp is experimenting a feature that allows administrators of a group chat on the app to add a description for the group. There will be a new “About Us” section for groups, and the description can be seen by all group members at the top of group info section.
All members of the group chat will have the option to modify the description as per requirement by tapping on the ‘Add Group Description’ option. However, the group administrators can restrict non-admins from modifying it. This feature was made available for WhatsApp Beta Android users a couple of days ago.
Group Calls and Video Chats
One of the limitations of WhatsApp is that is doesn’t support voice and video calls between more than two people at a time. WhatsApp is set to change this soon by introducing a new group calling feature.
The feature first seen in beta version 2.18.39 adds call and video button next to contact names in the groups. Users can add multiple people to initiate a group call. However, there is no information as to the number of people that can be added to a group call.
