Meta-owned WhatsApp is constantly working on new updates and features to introduce on the platform to improve the user experience.

According to recent reports, WhatsApp is working on a new feature which will let users pin important messages in the chats and groups on the social networking platform.

As per a report in WABetaInfo, the feature will be useful as it will allow users to pin important messages to the top of the chats on WhatsApp.

But if a message is pinned on chat and the recipient is still using an older version of WhatsApp, then a pop-up will appear asking the user to upgrade the applications.

Moreover, pinned messages will improve organisation in the groups which receive a lot of messages, by allowing users to easily access important messages.

The ability to pin messages within chats and groups is currently under development and is expected to be released in a future update of the application, the report further said.

Meanwhile on Thursday, it was reported that the messaging platform was working on a new feature which will allow users to create calling shortcuts.The feature will be helpful for users who frequently make calls to the same person and do not want to go through the same process again-and-again, that is, opening the application and searching for the contact every time.

According to a report in WABetaInfo, a website that tracks news and updates related to the Meta-owned platform, WhatsApp is currently working on an update to improve user experience by introducing calling shortcuts.

The feature was first spotted on the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.3.15 update. As per the screenshot shared in the report, a pop-up will appear on WhatsApp asking for permission for adding a calling shortcut.

The calling shortcut for WhatsApp will appear under the contact card, next to cellular calling thumbnails.
