10 New WhatsApp Features You’ll Love in 2025 With Meta AI Photo Editor Inside

WhatsApp keeps updating with new features that make messaging easier and more fun. Whether it’s improving media quality, managing documents, or adding AI-powered photo editing, these latest releases can change how you use the app every day. If you’ve been frustrated with blurry pictures, short status videos, or juggling multiple accounts, this update has something for you.

Download WhatsApp Photos and Videos in High Quality Automatically

Have you ever received a photo on WhatsApp in high quality, only to find it saved in low resolution on your phone? There’s a new setting that fixes this.

To ensure all photos and videos download in high quality automatically:

Open WhatsApp and go to Settings.
Tap on Storage and Data.
Find Auto Download Quality and select it.
Choose High Quality to enable automatic high-res downloads.

Keep in mind, this will use more mobile data. So it’s best to use this feature when connected to Wi-Fi. Previously this was an upcoming feature, but it’s now available for all users.

If you’ve already seen this update, or if it's missing for you, comment to let others know your experience.

Longer WhatsApp Status Videos: Now 90 Seconds

WhatsApp has increased the maximum length for status videos from 30 seconds to 90 seconds (1.5 minutes). If you noticed shorter status clips before, now you can post much longer updates for your friends and family.

For comparison, Instagram has also extended its Reel videos. Previously limited to 3 minutes, Reels can now last up to 20 minutes. Social media platforms are expanding video lengths to compete, giving users more room to share.

Feature	WhatsApp Status Length	Instagram Reel Length
Before Update	30 seconds	3 minutes
Current Update	90 seconds	20 minutes

Use these new limits to express more on your stories and status updates without constant breaks.

Scan Documents Directly Inside WhatsApp

Sending clear copies of documents used to mean switching to a separate scanner app or sending blurred photos. Now, WhatsApp has an in-built document scanner that makes this simple and fast.

To scan documents:

Tap the Share icon inside any chat.
Choose Document.
You will see three options:
- Browse documents (select existing files)
- Choose from gallery (pick images already saved)
- Scan document (use your camera to scan new docs)

The Scan document option automatically detects edges, captures pages, and can scan multiple pages quickly without manual clicks. You can edit the scans by cropping, rotating, adding filters, and enhancing the image with a clean-up feature.

Once done, tap Done to save all scanned pages as a single PDF. You can then send this professional-looking document file right through WhatsApp.

This handy tool saves time and improves the quality of your shared documents.

Multi-Account Switching and Avatar Profile Pictures on iOS

Multi-account switching on WhatsApp was available for Android users for a while but just rolled out to iPhone users too. If you use multiple WhatsApp accounts, switching between them now only takes a tap.

To switch accounts:

Go to the account switcher in WhatsApp.
Select the other account to move instantly.

In addition to multi-account support, WhatsApp on iOS now lets you create personalized avatars. These avatars can be customized to look like you and can be set as your profile photo (DP). Your real photo and your avatar will both show, giving you a fun way to express yourself on the platform.

These updates make WhatsApp more flexible and personalized for iPhone users.

Night Mode for WhatsApp Camera and Video Calls

Taking pictures or video calling in dark rooms often means poor quality and unclear images. WhatsApp now has a Night Mode in its camera, which you can enable to brighten photos taken inside the app during low-light conditions.

The same feature is being tested for video calls, improving how you look in darker environments without needing extra lighting.

You just have to toggle Night Mode within the WhatsApp camera to capture brighter, clearer shots and have better video call visibility. This feature shows how WhatsApp is focusing on better user experience in everyday situations.

Meta AI Photo Editor Inside WhatsApp Chat

One of the most exciting new features is the Meta AI-powered photo editing right inside WhatsApp. Now, you can send an image and ask WhatsApp’s AI to make advanced edits without switching apps.

Here are some examples of what this AI can do:

Add background effects (like rain or snow) automatically.
Remove unwanted objects from the photo (such as removing a watch on the wrist).
Add clothing elements to people in the photo (like putting a jacket on someone).

You just send the photo in chat and type your request, the AI processes it and sends back the edited image. This feature opens many creative possibilities for day-to-day conversations without needing a separate photo editor.

If you try it out, share your favorite edits and how you are using this AI tool.

Free AI Resume Generator for Job Seekers

For freshers or anyone struggling to build a resume, there’s a free AI tool called Resume Fixer Pro that helps create professional resumes quickly.

How to use:

Search for “Resume Fixer Pro” on Google.
Once on the site, click on Menu > AI Generate Resume.
Fill in your basic details like education, awards, and certificates.
Check “I am fresher” if this is your first job application.
Generate your resume.

The tool offers two formats:

A visually attractive printed layout with a sidebar.
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) compatible version for online submissions.

This service is completely free and requires no sign-up, unlike many other websites that charge or ask for personal info. This can be a big help if you’re preparing for your first job.

Ads Coming Soon to WhatsApp Status

WhatsApp will soon show advertisements between status updates, similar to the ads seen while scrolling through YouTube Shorts. This means you might see an ad when switching from one status to another.

This raises privacy questions because ads are usually targeted based on user data what you search, watch, and share.

To keep things transparent, WhatsApp is working on a new “Status Ads Report.” You’ll be able to download a report from Settings > Account that shows what data WhatsApp collects to serve you ads.

Although ads will change WhatsApp’s private feel, users will have more visibility into data usage, which is a small comfort.

Share your thoughts about ads in WhatsApp and how you feel about this change in the comments.

Instagram’s AI Image Generation for Stories (Bonus)

Instagram has introduced a cool AI Image option for stories. If you want to post a story but don’t have a photo ready, you can generate one using AI within the Instagram app.

To try it:

Select AI Image while creating a story.
Describe what kind of photo you want.
Browse ideas from the explore section.
The AI will create the image, ready to add to your story.

This is a fun tool to experiment with creative story ideas.
