Custom Notification Controls: A new setting under 'Notify For' lets users choose between 'Highlights' (for selective alerts) or 'All' (to receive every notification in group chats).

RSVP (Yes, No, Maybe)

Calling Updates

Improvements to WhatsApp calling on iOS include:

Easier Call Additions: During a 1-on-1 call, you can now quickly add someone else by tapping the call icon and selecting 'Add to Call'.
