Meta says it’s restoring access to WhatsApp accounts that were mistakenly flagged and placed “under review” after users reported being unexpectedly locked out of the messaging app.

WhatsApp will automatically move messages from large businesses to a new folder a few hours after you receive them.

Similar to the smartphone and desktop apps, the web app will support calling features such as screen-sharing and reactions.

WhatsApp now lets users reserve usernames ahead of the feature’s full rollout, making it possible to connect without sharing a phone number once usernames go live.

WhatsApp username can be between 3 to 35 characters.
