On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, WhatsApp is preparing to make its messaging app simpler, richer and more AI-powered.
Kunal Shah, who leads WhatsApp, outlined three priorities for future development. The company wants to simplify payments and add AI-based features that could help users handle daily tasks without leaving the app. It also plans to improve voice notes, groups, stickers and video. Shah said WhatsApp handles over 100 billion messages and 2 billion calls every day, and that personal messages and calls stay end-to-end encrypted.
