    WhatsApp might soon be your go-to messaging app on iPhone

    Good news for iPhone users who love WhatsApp! A new update could make it the main messaging app on your phone. Right now, iMessage is the default for sending texts on iPhones. But WhatsApp, which is super popular worldwide, may get a chance to take over that spot.

    This change is tied to a big rule called the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in Europe. The DMA wants to make things fairer for different apps and give users more choices. Because of this, Apple might have to let apps like WhatsApp become the default for messages. That means when you send a text, it could go through WhatsApp instead of iMessage—pretty cool, right?

    WhatsApp is already working on this. They’ve shared plans to add a feature that lets iPhone users pick it as their top app for texting. This would make chatting easier, especially with friends who use Android or other phones, since WhatsApp works across all devices.

    For now, this is mostly aimed at people in Europe because of the DMA rules. But if it goes well, it could spread to other places too. Imagine texting everyone through WhatsApp without switching apps! It’s still in the works, but it’s exciting to think about. What do you think—would you make WhatsApp your main messaging app?

    WhatsApp update allows iPhone users to use multiple accounts

    WhatsApp is now developing a feature where iPhone users can use more than one account on the same phone. According to WABetaInfo, this update is aimed at making it easier for people who have both personal and work accounts.

    WhatsApp Feature Update
    Before this, only Android users in the beta program could use multiple accounts. Now, iPhone users testing the app through TestFlight can try this out too. This means you won’t need another app like WhatsApp Business to handle a different account; you can do it all in the main WhatsApp app.

    With the latest beta version, 25.2.10.70, you can choose to make your phone the main account or connect another account by scanning a QR code to use it as a “companion” account. This way, each account keeps its own notifications, chats, backups, and settings. You can switch between accounts easily, without needing another phone.

    Instagram, which is also run by Meta, already allows switching between accounts in its app. Adding this to WhatsApp makes the apps more similar. We don’t know when everyone will get this feature, but since it’s in the testing phase, it might not be too long. There’s still no word on a WhatsApp app for iPads.

    In other news, Meta has recently linked WhatsApp with its Accounts Center, where you manage your privacy and settings across all Meta platforms. Now, you can tweak your settings all in one spot and share your status from WhatsApp to Instagram and Facebook.

    iOS 18.4 brings better messaging and app choices

    Apple’s iOS 18.4 update, released on April 2, 2025, makes texting and app use simpler for iPhone users. The Messages app now supports RCS (Rich Communication Services) for more people, especially those on smaller T-Mobile networks like Mint Mobile and Google Fi.

    This means you can send high-quality photos, see when someone’s typing, and enjoy smoother chats with Android friends. To check if it works for you, go to Settings > Apps > Messages > RCS Messaging. If your carrier supports it, you’ll see “RCS” in the text box when messaging Android users.

    Plus, iOS 18.4 lets you pick your favorite apps as defaults in new areas like messaging and calls. Before, you could only set defaults for things like email or browsers, but now you can choose apps like WhatsApp for texting or calling instead of Apple’s built-in options.

    This gives you more control over how your iPhone works. Both updates make everyday tasks easier and more personal, so you can chat and use apps your way. Have you tried these changes yet? They’re a big step forward!
