WhatsApp New Feature: WhatsApp is preparing to make the profile experience even more personal for its users.Phone users. The messaging app is working on a new feature called Profile Cover Photo. With this feature, users will be able to make their WhatsApp profile more stylish, similar to Facebook or LinkedIn. According to the latest reports, this new option has been spotted in the WhatsApp iOS beta version, which is currently available on Apple's TestFlight platform. Earlier hints of this feature were also found in the Android beta, making it clear that the company plans to roll it out to all users.

How will Profile Cover Photo work?

Using this feature is said to be quite easy. A separate space will be provided in your WhatsApp profile, right above your existing profile picture, where you can add a cover photo. Users will be able to choose a picture from their phone's gallery, take a new photo at that moment, or change the cover image whenever they want. Once set, this cover photo will be visible when someone else views your profile and also when you go to your own profile settings.

Idea borrowed from WhatsApp Business

Interestingly, this feature is already available for WhatsApp Business users. Business accounts have been showcasing their brand identity through cover photos for quite some time. Now it seems that WhatsApp has decided that regular users should also get the same customization freedom, allowing them to make their profiles more attractive.

Launch Timeline and other new features

Currently, this feature is in the iOS beta stage, so the exact date for its availability to all users is not yet known. WhatsApp usually rolls out new features gradually, so some users may have to wait a little longer.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp is constantly working on new updates. Recently, features such as member tagging for groups, the option to turn text into stickers, and custom event reminders have been added. WhatsApp is focusing on giving users more personalization options and making chatting more fun than ever before.
