WhatsApp on the Web has been updated to include a few new features that allow you to have more control over your chats and group conversations that take place in a Web browser.

First launched in January, the Web interface lets you carry out WhatsApp chats via a desktop or laptop but always approached things in a pretty cut-back, simplistic way.

Now, there are a few more options you can select in the browser version, like editing your profile photo and status message, and a few small UI tweaks.

The settings icon now also provides access to options like deleting and archiving on-going chats. Plus, you can now archive, mute or abandon a group chat via the Web client too.

There are keyboard shortcuts for some of the functions too, but they don’t seem to be working consistently just yet.
