WhatsApp Introduces New Features Including Dual Accounts on iPhone and Easier Chat Transfers
Popular messaging platform WhatsApp has announced a new wave of features designed to make the app easier to manage across devices, accounts, and conversations.
According to an official update published on the WhatsApp Blog on March 26, 2026, the rollout includes storage management improvements, cross-platform chat transfers, dual accounts on iPhone, and new AI-powered tools.
One of the biggest additions allows users on iPhone to log into two WhatsApp accounts on the same device — a feature Android users already had access to. The update is designed to help users separate work and personal conversations without carrying multiple phones.
WhatsApp is also expanding its chat transfer feature, allowing users to move conversations, photos, and videos between iPhone and Android devices more easily.
Another update focuses on storage management. Users can now find and remove large files directly inside chats without deleting the entire conversation. WhatsApp says users can also clear only media files while keeping chat history intact.
The platform is also adding sticker suggestions based on emojis typed in chats, helping users quickly find stickers that match their mood.
In addition, some users will begin seeing new Meta AI-powered tools that can help edit photos before sending them in chats. Features include removing distractions from images, changing backgrounds, and applying visual styles. Meta AI availability may vary by region and account.
WhatsApp also announced improvements to its AI Writing Help feature, which can now suggest draft responses based on conversations while maintaining private messaging protections.
The company says the features are rolling out gradually and should become available to all users over time.
