This Holi, Keep Your Celebrations Brighter, Closer, And More Connected With Whatsapp.

Bengaluru, Karnataka, 27th of February, 2026 : Holi is here and with it, vibrant colours, spontaneous plans, endless group chats, and memories you’ll want to relive long after the colours fade. From planning the perfect Holi party to sharing those unfiltered, colour-splashed selfies, WhatsApp helps you stay connected through every splash, laugh, and last-minute plan.

Here’s how you can make your Holi even more vibrant with WhatsApp:

1. Voice Chat: Plan the Party Without the Ping

Coordinating Holi plans in a busy group chat? Instead of endless back-and-forth messages, start a Voice Chat in your group and let everyone jump in when they’re free. Finalising the venue, confirming who’s bringing the gujiyas, or deciding the playlist, quick decisions, zero missed calls, and no ringing interruptions.

2. Status with Music: Let the Colours Sing

Holi isn’t just seen, it’s felt. Add music to your Status and turn every colour-splashed moment into a mini celebration. Share your Holi look, that perfect water balloon throw, or a slow-mo colour burst, then tap the music icon and add your favourite festive track. Suddenly, your friends aren’t just watching, they’re celebrating with you.

3. Schedule Calls: Plan Before the Colours Fly

Getting friends and family together before the big day? Schedule your Holi video call in advance. Just tap the + in your Calls tab → scheduled calls, invite your group, and set the time. Everyone gets notified when it’s time to join — perfect for coordinating meet-ups, planning surprises, or including loved ones who can’t be there in person.

4. Group Chats, Upgraded: More Ways to Celebrate Together

Holi plans usually live in group chats and now they’re even better. With new updates on WhatsApp, you can add Member Tags to show your role in each group (whether you’re the host, DJ, or snack-in-charge), turn any message into a standout Text Sticker instantly, and set Event Reminders so no one misses the party or the call.

5. Status, Reimagined for Holi: More Ways to Share Every Splash

Holi moments deserve more than just a single photo and WhatsApp Status gives you new ways to bring them to life. Create a collage with Layout to showcase up to six of your best colour-splashed shots and turn your favourite Holi click into a fun Photo Sticker. You can even use Add Yours to start a colour-filled chain with friends and see how everyone’s celebrating. With these new features rolling out, sharing your Holi highlights just got more creative and a lot more personal.

From neighbourhood celebrations to long-distance family calls, Holi is all about togetherness. And whether you’re sharing colours in person or through your screen, WhatsApp helps you stay in sync.

This Holi, make every message brighter, every call louder, and every shared moment more colourful.
