Leak reveals the new features coming to WhatsApp; Apple Music integration, public groups, larger emojis and more


WhatsApp, one of the most popular messaging app is now coming up with Apple Music integration. WhatsApp developers have continuously been adding small yet essential features over time and the pace has increased after WhatsApp launched an official beta testing channel through the Google Play store.A new report says that a beta version of the app comes with a bunch of new features that users might appreciate.

WhatsApp is working on a slew of interesting features, including support for larger emoji, music sharing, public groups and mentions. Apple Music integration is the most interesting feature spotted by users. This feature will help users sends Apple Music tracks as links and the recipient of the links will be able to listen to the music after the link opens the Apple Music App.


This update comes right after the recent update to WhatsApp which allowed users to quote and reply to messages within a conversation. Users have long been about to share Music files saved locally, but now, sharing though Apple Music integration will make things easier. However, for Apple Music sharing to work, both the sender and the recipient have to be paying subscribers. It's not clear at this time whether the feature will support other streaming services. When sharing a track, a small music player will appear complete with album visuals for the song that's being shared, as reported by German tech website macerkopf.de.


Support for large emoji is also something users will love, though there are no visuals for them at this point. 9to5Mac reports that the WhatsApp beta team revealed this week that emoji will match the ones introduced with iOS 10, which are three times bigger than current ones.

When it comes to public groups, anyone with a link to a specific group can post content to it, and admins will be able to shut groups downs when needed.

The mentions feature works pretty much just like it does on Twitter: You can simply tag people in your address book within a chat.

Most of the features will hit the iOS version first and will later come to the Android beta version. Users need to have jailbroken devices to install beta versions of WhatsApp on iOS.
