Overview

• Version 25.24.10.72 for iOS is rolling out to a small group of TestFlight users, with some reports of early access on the stable App Store build.
• Live Photos now send in original quality with motion and audio, instead of being downgraded to static images or silent, lower-quality GIFs.
• Senders can choose to share a Live Photo as a moving image or as a still, with toggles in the gallery picker and the editing screen.
• Recipients can save the media to the iOS Photos app in the original Live Photo format, preserving motion and sound.
• WABetaInfo also published screenshots indicating WhatsApp is preparing the iOS 26 ‘Liquid Glass’ look, though that design change is still in development.
