New WhatsApp for iOS Features
As part of the latest WhatsApp for iOS version 23.14.79 update, WhatsApp for iOS now has the ability to transfer chat with ease to another iPhone. This feature will allow you to easily toggle the “Transfer Chats to iPhone” from the Chat Settings menu when you want to switch to a new iPhone.
Do note that this update will not enable cross-platform transfer of chats. If we go by the Android method, chat transfer will occur via a QR code generated on the new device that needs to be scanned from your old device.

Lastly, there’s something for video calls. WhatsApp now has the ability to take video calls in landscape mode. This will allow you to view more people at once on your screen and will also prove handy during work calls.
These new WhatsApp features have started rolling out to iOS users and should be available to all soon. You can head to the App Store to check for the update and get it to start using these features. Also, don’t forget to share your experience with us in the comments section below.
