WhatsApp is testing Windows 11 “Resume” to pick up chats from Android

WhatsApp may soon let you continue Android conversations (and possibly calls) on Windows 11 via “Resume.” This feature appeared in Windows 11 preview builds and showed up automatically on my PC before disappearing on its own. However, it doesn’t appear to work (yet). Microsoft has been trying to bring Android and Windows 11 closer ever since it killed off Windows Phone, and its latest attempt is ‘Resume.’ The idea of Resume is similar to Apple Handoff, where you could resume iPhone activities on a MacBook. For example, if you are drafting an email on your iPhone and switch to a MacBook, you can resume the activity instantly. Windows 11 has something similar, but the catch is that most apps, including inbox apps, do not support ‘Resume’ capabilities. On Windows 11, if you open a document on Android, which is synced to OneDrive, and start your PC, the taskbar would nudge you to pick up from where you left off.

Silhouettes of laptop and mobile device users are seen next to a screen projection of Whatsapp logo in this picture illustration taken March 28, 2018. — Reuters WhatsApp is developing a native "Scheduled Messages" feature that will allow users to set a specific date and time for messages to be sent automatically within chats. The functionality has been spotted in the latest iOS beta version 26.7.10.72, released through Apple's TestFlight programme, according to WABetaInfo. Once introduced, the feature will enable users to compose a message, select a preferred delivery time, and let the app send it automatically when the scheduled moment arrives — without requiring any further action. Scheduled messages will remain queued until dispatch and will appear in a dedicated section within the chat information screen. — WABetaInfo From there, users will be able to view, manage, or delete pending messages before they are sent. Importantly, deleting a scheduled message will not notify the recipient, as the message is removed prior to delivery. The upcoming tool is expected to function in both individual and group chats, allowing users to plan birthday wishes, reminders, announcements, or work-related updates in advance. While iPhone users can currently achieve similar results using Apple's

WhatsApp helps you catch the group chat up. – The Verge

Posted Feb 20, 2026 at 1:03 PM UTC D Dominic Preston WhatsApp helps you catch the group chat up. It’s rolling out Group Message History, which lets group chat admins (and members, depending on permissions) share the most recent messages with new members of a chat.
