Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced a new feature for WhatsApp chats. You can now pin up to three messages in a chat on WhatsApp. This provides more flexibility and function within chats. So far, users could only pin a single message on the chats.

WhatsApp new UPI feature
WhatsApp is also working on a new UPI-related feature to make payments simpler. In a recent update to the Beta version, a QR code scanner icon was placed at the top of the chats list. This new feature is a push to make WhatsApp a go-to payments option. This new feature also comes at a time when many Paytm users migrated to other apps due to the limitations placed by the Reserve Bank of India on the Paytm Payments Bank.
WhatsApp Voice Transcription Feature
Another WhatsApp feature that was spotted in the beta version of the app by WABetaInfo, claims that WhatsApp will soon allow users to transcribe the voice messages within the app. This will help users who don't prefer communicating via voice notes.
