WhatsApp is rapidly updating its platform. The company is adding new features to provide users with the best possible experience. Now, it’s reported that WhatsApp is bringing a new feature to iOS users. The company is said to be testing a new cover photo feature for iOS.

The cover photo feature is currently available for WhatsApp Business accounts.
WhatsApp is bringing the cover photo feature to iOS
According to the latest post from WABetaInfo, a website that tracks new WhatsApp features, the company is working on a new feature that will allow users to upload a cover photo to their personal profile. The cover image feature was spotted in WhatsApp beta for iOS 26.1.10.71 update, which is available on the TestFlight application.
The tracker also mentioned that WhatsApp is developing a dedicated section in the profile interface to display the new cover photo banner. The layout suggests that the cover image will be placed right above the existing profile picture and will be similar to the cover photos seen on other social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. This feature is already available for WhatsApp Business accounts, where businesses can use cover photos to highlight their brand.
The process of choosing a cover image is expected to be similar to the process available for WhatsApp Business users. Users can tap on the cover photo to take a photo or choose one from their gallery. It can also be repositioned or changed at any time. The tracker further stated that once the cover photo is enabled, it will be visible both when viewing a contact’s profile and when accessing your own profile settings.

In addition, the brand has launched a new event reminder feature that lets users set custom early reminders for invitations when creating and sending events in group chats.
