Here are three of the latest hidden or quietly launched features recently discovered in WhatsApp as of August 22, 2025:
1. Voicemail-Style Voice Messages for Missed Calls
WhatsApp is testing a feature that lets you leave a voice message if your call isn’t answered, similar to a voicemail. This appears right after a missed call notification and is available to select Android beta users using version 2.25.23.21 (The Times of India, Cinco Días).
2. Private Writing Help Assistant (AI-Powered Text Rewriting)
A new AI-driven tool named the Private Writing Help Assistant has been spotted in the latest iOS beta (TestFlight, version 25.22.10.74). It can rewrite your messages—making corrections, shortening text, or giving them a more polished tone. Meta's system emphasizes privacy through real-time processing and automatic deletion after sending (The Sun).
3. Meta AI-Powered Chat Summaries
WhatsApp now lets you summarize unread chats using Meta AI. The summaries are generated locally on your device (not sent to servers), preserving privacy. You can enable it in Advanced Chat Privacy settings. Initially available in English in the U.S., support will expand to more regions and languages later in the year (Indiatimes).
