News India Live, Digital Desk: Today is 30th December and the whole world is in party mood. Understanding this mood, WhatsApp’s owner company ‘Meta’ has also updated its app with new features. If you are thinking of wishing your friends and relatives last night, then definitely take a look at these changes.
1. Animated Status
Till now we used to put any photo or video on the status. But in the new update, WhatsApp has brought some ‘animated status’ options that will automatically show fireworks or balloons. In this you will get year 2026 themed background and fun effects. This means that your status will not look like just an image, but like a small film of celebration.
2. A barrage of ‘effects’ and ‘filters’ on video calls
When you make a video call to your family tomorrow night, you will see some interesting AR (Augmented Reality) effects on the WhatsApp video call window. Suppose you say ‘Happy New Year’, you can see flowers or firecrackers falling virtually on the screen. All this is so easy that with a single tap on the phone screen, the background of the video call will change and celebrating with the entire family will look even more lovely.
3. 2026 glow in stickers
If you feel lazy to write long texts, then go to the ‘Sticker Pack’ of WhatsApp. This time special 2026 high-quality and 3D stickers have been added. These stickers no longer just look like an emoji, but also have sounds and movements. So this time send wonderful wishes in just one click.
What to do if these features are not visible?
WhatsApp is gradually rolling out these features. If these changes have not yet arrived on your phone, then immediately go to Google Play Store or App Store and ‘update’ your WhatsApp app.
