Breaking These Features in Pieces: The Private Reply is more likely is an add-on than a feature. The option allows users to reply a specific person privately while on a group chat.

PIP or Picture in Picture feature is much familiar to YouTube users. The feature allows watching every sent and received video on a separate window. When a video is played in WhatsApp chat, a new icon will show up. Tapping on that icon will separate the video from chat screen with a new window. It allows users to continue to chat multiple people and watch the video at the same time.

Tap to Unblock Feature allows unblocking a contact via shortcut and starting chatting. Users don’t have to manually unblock someone previously blocked.

WhatsApp Beta App’s new feature Invite via Link enables shortcut for Group Admins to invite more contacts via a link. Another to-be-acclaimed WhatsApp feature that is likely to be out for Beta test is the ‘Shake to Report.’ When a user faces any problem with current WhatsApp service, this feature will direct to Contact Us section simply by shaking the phone.
