The WhatsApp update at the beginning of 2026 includes new features for group chats, such as member labels based on their role and text stickers in group chats.

With these new features, the messaging platform will allow users to upload personalized visual content and “activate alerts for activities in digital communities.”

Additionally, the “custom event reminders” feature is being added, which changes the way users organize themselves in digital communities.

The platform announced the information in a blog post, emphasizing that they aim to offer “new options designed to streamline group communication.”

Google has started rolling out end-to-end encryption (E2EE) in group chats, a feature that is already available to some beta testers of this app.

The company announced in November 2020 that it would incorporate this security filter in individual conversations, that is, between two users, so that only the participants could see their content. This protection is such that Google cannot even access them.

At the end of last October, 9to5Google announced that the platform was working on encrypting the group chats of its Messages application, according to a series of testimonials collected from Reddit.

In them, users admitted that their devices had set up a notification that the message sent was encrypted. Now, this same medium has pointed out that Google has begun to implement the E2EE for group chats in the latest beta version of the application.

With this, it has indicated that for this system to work, all users of that group chat must have the Rich Communication Services (RCS) functions enabled in the chat and mobile data or WiFi enabled.
