You can modify it in Settings (Data and Storage Usage), where you will find a new option called Media visibility.

With the new Media visibility feature, you can now choose whether you want to make the media that you’ve received on chat App visible in your gallery or make it limited to WhatsApp only.

You can, however, easily disable it by turning off the Show media in gallery option after going through the WhatsApp Settings > Data and storage usage.

New Contacts Shortcuts

Thought this new contact shortcut already exist on iPhone but for Android, its new.

Select All

The select all is a quick option added to the main screen, it allows you to select all chats in order to mark them as read. You can also use Select All to achieve all chats.

To force the Select all option to appear in the action menu, you need to select at least one chat first, otherwise the option won’t be available.

Group Audio Call Functionality:

WhatsApp for iPhone is rolling out Group Audio calls functionality. This means that you’ll soon be able to make voice calls to your multiple contacts directly through the instant messaging app.

There are buttons to enable speaker, video call, and mute just below the profile pictures of the participants. The update is currently rolling to WhatsApp for iPhone version 2.18.60.

  1. The group call functionality would be great can’t wait to carry out conference calls with it

  2. this really cool…but their calls is not encouraging you have to wait seconds before hearing your callers voice

  3. prof most of my comments don’t appear, i have to repost them like twice or thrice before they appear. Why?

  4. The media visibility option have been available on ios for a while. You only save the media you want to appear on your photo, otherwise, you can only see it on whatsapp except to set it to automatically download a particular persons files directly.
