New WhatsApp feature for iOS beta users

WhatsApp has launched a fresh update for its iOS beta testers, version 25.18.10.78, available through the TestFlight program. This update brings a fun new feature that lets users show a raised hand emoji during voice and video calls, making chats more lively and interactive. The raised hand emoji helps users grab attention or signal they want to speak, similar to raising a hand in a real meeting.

It’s a simple way to make group calls feel more organized and engaging. Some beta testers can already try this feature, and it’s rolling out to more users soon. Even those with older beta versions might access it, so it’s worth checking. This update builds on WhatsApp’s efforts to make calls more expressive. Earlier updates, like animated emoji reactions, showed their focus on fun communication.

The raised hand feature is another step toward making virtual chats feel more natural. To get this feature, users need the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS from TestFlight. If you’re not in the beta program, you’ll have to wait for the stable version on the App Store, though no release date is set yet.
