WhatsApp for iOS has received an update, which brings a couple of interesting new features and privacy improvement.

With the latest update installed, you’ll be able to choose to accept an incoming WhatsApp call while you’re on another call as support for call waiting is one of the features in this update. WhatsApp also updated chats design to make it easier for the user to scan your messages.

This is an important update for privacy enthusiasts. You can now control who can add you to groups. To make amendments to who can add you to groups, go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Groups. Otherwise, the update takes the app to Version Version 2.19.120.

Changelog

  • New privacy settings allow you to control who can add you to groups. Admins will have the option of sending you a private invite instead. Go to Settings > Account > Privacy > Groups to get started.
  • Added call waiting support so you can choose to accept an incoming WhatsApp call while you’re already on another call.
  • Updated Chats screen design to make it easier to quickly scan your messages.

You can update or install WhatsApp on your iOS device from this link, or you can head over to App Store.
