The instant messaging platform WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is said to be developing new features for group chats that are expected to be rolled out in future updates. Among the anticipated enhancements are the capabilities to incorporate images into polls and to establish private chat events. These developments have been identified by WABetaInfo, a source recognized for its coverage of new and forthcoming WhatsApp functionalities. In recent months, the application has seen numerous updates, and these forthcoming features are likely to contribute to an improved user experience. Further details regarding photo polls and chat event functionalities are forthcoming.

WhatsApp's features for photo polls and chat events

Recently, WABetaInfo reported that WhatsApp is in the process of developing two new features within the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.25.1.17. The first feature allows users to attach images to polls, enhancing their visual appeal. The report noted that while users can include photos as options, it is advisable to maintain uniformity for a more polished appearance. This enhancement is expected to facilitate brands and companies in creating more engaging polls, as images can provide a more attractive alternative when textual descriptions fall short. Initially, the photo poll feature will be available in channels, with a potential extension to group chats in the future.

In addition to the new polling capabilities, WhatsApp is also introducing private chat events, enabling users to organize events within individual chats. Previously, this feature was limited to group chats, but it will now be accessible for one-on-one conversations as well. Users will have the ability to create events by specifying the date, event name, and description. Furthermore, they can include additional details such as location and options for audio or video calls for virtual meetings.

Currently, both features are still under development and are expected to be released in the coming weeks or months. Users are encouraged to keep their applications updated to access the latest enhancements.
