The new WhatsApp features will be available in phases which means not everyone will receive them at the same time. 

WhatsApp has added a bunch of new features to its iOS and Android apps to keep the 1.3 billion (according to the July 2017 numbers from research firm Statista) strong user base pleased. The features will roll out on users' smartphone through automatic OTA (over the air) updates. These features will be available in phases which means not everyone will receive them at the same time.
