+🎉🎉🎉 First of all, **Happy New Year!** We wish you all the best in the New 2025 Year! 🎉🎉🎉
+
+We are thrilled to announce the release of [**WAHA 2024.12**]({{< relref "/docs/overview/changelog#202412" >}})!
+
+## Chat Overview API
+We've added [**💬 Chats Overview API**]({{< relref "/docs/how-to/chats#get-chats-overview" >}})
+to help you build your custom UI clients!
+
+{{< img src="/images/waha/dashboard/waha-dashboard-chat-ui.png" >}}
+
+Get chats "overview" - the API that almost all
+[**Chat UI**]({{< relref "/docs/how-to/dashboard#chat-ui" >}})
+client needs!
+
+```
+GET /api/{session}/chats/overview?limit=20&offset=0
+```
+
+**Response** contains the main info you need to show in the chat list:
+1. `id` - chat id
+2. `name` - chat name (if any)
+3. `picture` - chat picture (if any)
+4. `lastMessage` - last message in the chat (if any).
+5. `_chat` - the structure depends on engine you're using
+
+## Join Groups API
+Now you can 
+[**👥 Join Group**]({{< relref "/docs/how-to/groups#join-group" >}}) 
+by link 
+and get 
+[**👥 Group Info**]({{< relref "/docs/how-to/groups#get-join-info-for-group" >}})
+before joining!
+
+If you have invite URL for a group (like `https://chat.whatsapp.com/invitecode`), you can
+
+```bash
+POST /api/{session}/groups/join
+```
+
+**Body**
+```json
+{
+  "code": "invitecode"
+}
+```
+
+or using full link:
+```json
+{
+  "code": "https://chat.whatsapp.com/invitecode"
+}
+```
+
+**Response**:
+```json
+{
+  "id": "123123123@g.us"
+}
+```
+
+## Profile Picture API improvements
+We've added optimizations in 
+[**💬 Get Chat Picture**]({{< relref "/docs/how-to/chats#get-chat-picture" >}})
+and 
+[**👤 Get Contact Profile Picture**]({{< relref "/docs/how-to/contacts#get-contact-profile-picture" >}})
+API!
+
+Before it could give rate-overlimit error, now it's optimized and faster!
+
+## And More!
+Check out the full [**WAHA 2024.12 🆕 Changelog**]({{< relref "/docs/overview/changelog#202412" >}}) for more details!
