Ammon News - WhatsApp is reportedly working to bring a new feature to iOS users. The company is said to be testing out a new cover photo for the personal profile feature for iOS. The same feature was earlier reported to be in beta testing on Android as well. With this, customers will be able to set a cover photo, similar to what we have seen in other social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. The cover photo feature is available for WhatsApp Business accounts.

WhatsApp is Developing a Cover Photo Feature for iOS
As per the latest post by the feature tracker WABetaInfo, the company is working on a new feature that will allow users to upload a cover photo on their personal profile. The cover image feature was spotted on the WhatsApp beta for iOS 26.1.10.71 update, which is available on the TestFlight application.

The tracker also revealed that WhatsApp is developing a dedicated section in the profile interface to show the new cover photo banner. The layout suggests that the cover image will sit right above the existing profile photo and will be similar to what we have seen in other social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. The same feature is already available for WhatsApp Business accounts, where businesses can set a cover photo to highlight their brand.
