In WhatsApp's latest update which was released last night on the Appstore for iOS devices i.e Version: 2.18.100, the are some pretty awesome features. Most of which users have been crying out loud for.
Here's a list of the major features...
1. COMPATIBILITY
WhatsApp now has full support for the latest iOS 12. This should bring down all the noise about the bugs for those who are on the latest iOS. As predicted earlier, unfortunately, this version of the app does not support any version of iOS below iOS 8. The full list of unsupported devices can be found here.
2. MORE WAYS TO REPLY STATUS
Unlike before, you can now directly reply status with a v-card, pictures & documents, basically the usual functions of the plus button in normal chat.
3. SEQUENTIAL VOICE NOTE PLAYBACK
In the new update, you would not have to tap on the play button on the next voice message to listen to it. WhatsApp will automatically do the playback for you. This if you don't see this feature yet, you should do a backup and reinstall the app.
About the hidden dark mode,
This feature was discovered by @WABetaInfo. They first announced that WhatsApp was working on this feature in a tweet back in mid-September. According to them, the feature now exists in the latest update but still in alpha mode. This means that the final version would most probably look different. There hasn't been any conspicuous development on it yet, more importantly, there is no button to activate/deactivate it (yet). Here's a glimpse of it...
