WhatsApp enhances user experience with reply threads

Technology Jul 09, 2025

WhatsApp is making group chats a lot easier to follow on iOS with a new reply thread feature—think iMessage vibes.
Soon, messages that get replies will show an icon, and tapping it takes you straight to all the related responses in one spot.

Besides better threads, WhatsApp is also testing AI-generated chat wallpapers for iOS.
You'll be able to create custom backgrounds just by typing a prompt, thanks to Meta AI.
Both features are rolling out gradually, so keep an eye out for updates!
