WhatsApp on Monday launched rolling out an update for its iPhone version.
The WhatsApp update (version 2.18.22) brings features like a quick toggle that lets users switch between voice calls and video calls with a single tap and the presence of the '@' mentions button in group chats. The @ button will allow users to scroll back to unread messages in which you were mentioned. WhatsApp beta users on Android received the quick toggle for voice to video calls last month.
The v2.18.22 update of WhatsApp for iPhone is listed on the App Store and the changelog states, "You can now easily switch between voice and video calls. See the '@' button in group chats. You can reply to or unread messages. The features are rolling out slowly, it appears, as we were not able to see them despite being the latest version of the app. We've reached out to WhatsApp for clarification.
