WhatsApp added the call-waiting function for voice calls. The latest WhatsApp app, version 2.19.352 and above, allows the users to select an option between an incoming call or an ongoing call, WhatsApp has added support for call waiting feature in iPhones, according to Facebook-owned WhatsApp.

On other hand, WhatsApp updated the group privacy settings in its iOS based app. The new settings enables group admins to send a private invite to their friends whom they want to include in a group instead of sending a common invite to all.

Also, the users can access this setting by tapping on the Privacy option in the Account Settings and then tapping on the Groups option to select their preferred settings.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp is still missing the feature to put the call on hold, which helps when a person is on a call and wants to put the other person on hold. The messaging app might add call holding function soon.

Later, WhatsApp introduced a new catalogs feature to Business app that will allow the businesses to showcase and share their products and services to potential customers. Once this messaging app creates a catalogue via the new feature then it can be shared as a part of business profile or in a chat while having conversation with a customer using the Business app.

The catalogs are particularly appealing to WhatsApp’s customer based in emerging markets, where much of users’ online activity is taking place inside apps instead of on the wider web, as new users come online in these regions, according to techcrunch.
