Jetpack 16.3 is a major update. It adds three new blocks, smarter forms, and a reorganized settings screen. Here is what matters for site owners.
Three new blocks
- Latest Videos Playlist: Keeps a playlist filled with your newest VideoPress videos, so you do not have to update it by hand.
- All Playlists: Shows every VideoPress playlist in one place, so visitors can browse your video collections.
- Zoom Scheduler: Lets visitors book Zoom meetings from a post or page without leaving your site.
Forms and settings
Jetpack Forms now supports conditional logic. That means a question appears only when a visitor’s earlier answer calls for it. You also get more control over deleting spam and other responses, with safeguards against accidental permanent deletion.
The Products tab is now a Features tab. It puts every Jetpack feature in one list, so you can turn them on or off and see which are free or paid. Newsletter controls move into a single sidebar in the editor.
Stats settings now live inside the Stats dashboard. That gives people on the standalone Stats plugin a settings screen they never had before.
AI, reliability, and accessibility
The Jetpack AI setup page now lists ChatGPT and Codex alongside Claude, Cursor, and VS Code for connecting AI apps.
Jetpack also fixed several cases where it reported a connection problem on a healthy site. Reconnecting now repairs only the site owner’s account instead of disconnecting every user. Tooltips are easier to use with a keyboard and screen readers.
The Daily Writing Prompt dashboard widget gains a Freshly Pressed tab of posts hand-picked by WordPress.com editors. Sites connected through Jetpack are automatically eligible to be featured there.
You can find the plugin on WordPress.org. Update from your dashboard, and check the new Features tab if a setting looks like it moved.
