WhatsApp drops new features: Missed call messages, status stickers, and channel questions

Technology Dec 15, 2025

WhatsApp just rolled out a batch of updates to make chatting smoother and more fun.
Now, if you miss a call because of bad signal, you'll get an instant chat message providing context for the missed call—no awkward follow-ups needed.
Plus, status updates are getting a glow-up with animated and static stickers for more creative self-expression.

More interactive channels and privacy perks

Admins can now use Channel Questions to run polls or Q&As in their channels, making things way more interactive without exposing anyone's phone number.
All these changes are about making conversations easier and helping users connect in fresh ways—just another step in keeping WhatsApp lively and user-friendly.
