WhatsApp Novi integration payment is now officially available in pilot program in US
Earlier, WhatsApp has been working on Novi Wallet Integration for payments. And now, WhatsApp has officially launched a pilot program in the US, giving some users access to Novi integration.
In a recent tweet, Novi head Stephen Cazarial announced that a limited number of WhatsApp users in the US will be able to send and receive money using Novi from today (via-XDA). For those unfamiliar, Novi is a digital wallet from WhatsApp’s parent company that uses digital currencies to facilitate international money transfers.
This service is currently available in the US and Guatemala to send and receive money using the Pax Dollar (USDP), a fixed cryptocurrency supported by the US Dollar. However, WhatsApp integration is not currently available in Guatemala.
Kasriel explained that WhatsApp users who have access to Novi Integration during the pilot run can send and receive money directly from the chat screen at no charge. All payments made through Novi are directly reflected in the chats of individuals.
If you are one who got access during the pilot run, you can start the payment by following these steps:
- Open a chat with the contact you want to send money to.
- Tap on the attachment icon.
- Select the “Payment” option in the pop-up menu.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to log in to your Novi account or create a new account.
- Send/receive money on the following screen.

WhatsApp has released an essential update for its beta users, which fixes an issue with locked chats and filters. The new update is available through version 2.24.19.35 on the Google Play Beta Program.
The fresh beta update addresses an issue found in the previous beta version, 2.24.19.16. This beta version brought the Meta AI Assistant feature to help businesses by providing personalized insights and creating content for their catalogs, including images and ads.
However, users of this update encountered a major issue as the locked chats and chat filters stopped working properly. Mainly, users found that locked chats were missing from their interface, and they could not use filters to manage their conversations.
Several WhatsApp beta testers tried to fix the problem by restarting their devices or force-stopping the app, but these actions did not resolve the issue. This bug makes it difficult to access important conversations and navigate through messages.
Fortunately, WhatsApp has now fixed the issue with locked chats and filters through its latest beta update. After installing this update, users can once again access their locked chats and use chat filters.
If you are also testing the WhatsApp beta version on your Android devices, install the latest update to enjoy a smoother and error-free experience.
WhatsApp bringing new feature to easily transfer community ownership
WhatsApp is rolling out a new update for Android users, which brings the long-awaited transfer ownership feature to the community. This feature allows community owners to easily transfer their leadership role to another member.
Previously, if a WhatsApp community owner wanted to transfer ownership, they had to create a new community and ask everyone to join it. This was a long process and could lead to losing members and causing confusion.
Now, the new transfer ownership feature of WhatsApp resolves this issue by making it simple to pass on the leadership without any major disruptions and following a too-long process.
This feature appears in the community settings and makes it simple for current owners to transfer their leadership duties. Once the transfer is complete, the original owner will still be an admin but will lose the top decision-making capabilities.
They can continue to help manage and moderate the community, but won’t be able to make major changes like disabling the community or removing other admins.
The Transfer community ownership feature is currently available to some beta testers who have installed the WhatsApp beta version 2.24.19.34 from the Google Play Store. The company plans to roll it out to more users over the next few weeks.
WhatsApp has released a new update for its Android app with version 2.24.19.32, which brings a new feature for Meta AI voice. Available via the Google Play Beta Program, the fresh update adds a new feature that allows users to customize the Meta AI voice.
Earlier, WhatsApp was testing customizable voices for Meta AI. The latest beta version expands this feature, offering users the choice of several different voices for Meta AI. These include three UK voices and two US voices, each varying in pitch and tone to suit different preferences.
In addition, users will be able to choose from four voices modeled after public figures, although their identities have not yet been disclosed. WhatsApp users can select a voice that matches their preferred accent or tone and is pleasant to hear.
The new customization option for WhatsApp aims to make interactions with the Meta AI chatbot more personalized and engaging. Currently, this feature is only available with version 2.24.19.32 for Android in English, but WhatsApp plans to include voices in other languages in future updates.
As this feature is still in development, it will be enhanced before its official release. WhatsApp is working to ensure that it meets user needs and expectations.
