Overview
- WABetaInfo spotted the features in TestFlight builds 25.37.10.71 for Peripherals and 25.37.10.72 for the redesigned Clear chat screen.
- The new Peripherals section lists a connected Apple Watch by name and last active time, increasing visibility for accessories that can stay linked in the background.
- Unpairing an Apple Watch from WhatsApp on iPhone is not supported in the app, which currently directs users to delete WhatsApp from the watch to disconnect.
- The updated Clear chat interface lets users remove all messages, keep starred items, or delete selected media categories such as photos, videos, documents, stickers, and audio, with storage impact shown before confirming.
- The tests are available only to some iOS beta users, mirror earlier Android trials, and have no announced timeline for wider release.
