WhatsApp bringing advanced contact syncing for multiple accounts
WhatsApp introduces a new privacy feature for Android devices with the latest beta update. This advance syncing feature of WhatsApp enhances the management of contact across multiple accounts.
The fresh update of WhatsApp is available as version 2.24.18.14 for Android beta users through the Google Play Beta Program. It adds a new privacy feature that will allow users to have more control over how their contacts are synced.
WhatsApp Contact Sync Feature:
Separate Syncing for Each account
With this new feature, users will be able to manage the synchronization of their contacts book separately for each account. For example, if you have multiple WhatsApp accounts, you can choose to sync contacts for one account while keeping the contacts for another account separate. This feature helps to keep work and personal contacts distinct and organized.
Manual Syncing and Unsyncing options
Even if you decide not to sync all your contacts, you will still have the option to manually sync specific contacts as needed. It means that you can select contacts you want to sync across your devices, and you can also choose to unsync contacts that you no longer wish to have available on all your devices.
Secure Backup
A new backup option will also be available which allows users to securely back up synced contacts. This makes it easy to restore them if you switch devices or reinstall the app.
This new contact syncing privacy feature is still under development and will be included in a future WhatsApp update. Keep an eye out for more details as WhatsApp continues to work on and enhance this feature with new updates.

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.
WhatsApp is updating its app for Android devices with a useful feature for group calls with a new update. The latest version arrives with version 2.24.19.14 and is available through the Google Play Beta Program.
With the latest update, WhatsApp brings a new ability to create call links directly within group chats. Before, you had to go to the calls tab to generate a link for voice or video calls. Now, the latest update lets you make a call link from the chat itself.
Through this update, you don’t need to ring everyone in the group to start a call. Instead, you can share a link in the group chat to join the call. The new feature makes it easier to start and join calls in group chats.
Once you create the link, you can easily send it to the group, and members can join the call by clicking the link whenever they want. It’s particularly useful for big groups or people in different time zones who may not be available at the same time.
The call link feature of group chats is currently available through the WhatsApp beta update. The company will soon make it available for all users in upcoming stable updates.
