WhatsApp has rolled out a festive update just in time for the New Year, adding a touch of holiday spirit to its popular messaging platform. The update includes new effects, reactions, and stickers designed to enhance chats and video calls during the festive season.

The new features are available for both Android and iPhone users and will be accessible until January 3rd, 2025. They include:

  • Special effects for video calls: Festive backgrounds, filters, and video effects to add a celebratory touch to New Year’s Eve calls.
  • Automated animations: Party-themed emojis will trigger on-screen confetti for both the sender and recipient, adding a playful element to chats.

These lighthearted additions provide a fun way to celebrate the holidays with friends and family on WhatsApp.
