If rumours are to be believed, WhatsApp users might soon be able to edit sent messages and make group calls for voice and video on WhatsApp. The company lately introduced Delete for Everyone feature that lets users delete a sent message within seven minutes of sending it. Here`s a look at some of the major features that WhatsApp might unveil in 2018.

WhatsApp might soon roll out the UPI-based payments feature in India. It is said that WhatsApp is to be in talks with State Bank of India, National Payments Corporation of India and other institutions to integrate peer-to-peer payment system in the app. A recent report says, The new UPI integration feature is available for select WhatsApp beta users on iOS (2.18.21) and Android (2.18.41), enabling users to send and receive money using the Indian government`s UPI standard. This new feature is said to be available alongside other options such as Video, Gallery, Documents and others.

The ability to edit sent messages is one of the highly anticipated and long-awaited features on popular messaging service WhatsApp. In a recent tweet, an industry expert said, WhatsApp had added in beta the possibility to edit messages that you already sent, and it is actually disabled by default and it’s under development.

WhatsApp might soon roll out group calling feature that will let users add up to three members in a group video call. However, switching between group video call to voice call isn’t available yet. A total of four people would be a part of this group call, including the person who started the call. The feature is available in Android beta version 2.18.39.
