It transferred an 800MB video in just 5.3 seconds in a 5G network (38% quicker than the March version). Reverse engineering indicates that the new version has included an AI material generation tool (with 1,700 built-in templates). Testing by Indonesian e-commerce sellers has indicated that the efficiency of creating product posters has increased by 73% (average time consumption reduced from 4.2 minutes to 1.7 minutes), at the expense of the installation package size increasing to 92MB (from 83MB). First loading on Android 14 devices now takes longer at 3.8 seconds (only 2.4 seconds on official WhatsApp).

Meanwhile, they have launched the “metadata eraser” which can delete 97.3% of the EXIF information in the photos (the precision of GPS positioning has been reduced from ±3 meters to ±120 meters). However, in April 2025, a Munich Court case law in Germany illustrated that this feature triggered Article 27 of the EU’s Digital Services Act, and the developer was fined up to 5.5 million euros for a single transaction. The security audit found that the message initialization latency of the new version with the AES-512 encryption protocol was 0.3 seconds (the official Signal protocol was only 0.08 seconds), and the Brazilian Cybersecurity Center discovered that 14% of the end-to-end encrypted sessions were exposed to temporary key residue.
Innovations in business functions include a dynamic advertisement bidding system (eCPM to $7.2) and a VIP subscription tier system (supporting 8K video calls with a monthly subscription of $5.99), driving the estimated monthly revenue to exceed $28 million.

In terms of market performance, Southeast Asia’s installation volume exceeded 840,000 times a week (APKMirror data), but the Mediatek Dimensity 9400 chip phone crash rate reached 13.5% (9.8% for Snapdragon 8 Gen3 phones), and the memory leak rate increased to 105MB per hour.
