1. WhatsApp chat transfer from Android to iPhones:

While switching from Android to iPhone, the biggest question is about WhatsApp chat transfers. With this update, the job becomes much easier. You can easily transfer your chat history and data from your Android phone to iPhone. You would not need an iCloud backup for chat transfers either. You can easily transfer your data to a new device, without having a backup. 

To do this, go to Settings > Chats > Transfer Chats to iPhone.

2. Silent unknown callers

The new update allows users to even silence unknown callers. This is a useful thing as we can ignore random calls during the day. Any WhatsApp call coming from an unknown number will be silenced if you enable this feature. You can still view it in the notifications tab.

To do this, go to Settings > Privacy > Calls > Silence unknown callers.

3. Video calls on landscape mode

Now finally you can do video calls in the landscape mode too. So, you can comfortably video call sitting in any angle. To do this, you just have to flip your phone to landscape mode, just like we do while watching say a YouTube video.
