WhatsApp‘s latest 2.21.14.15 beta for Android bringing the new user interface, this new feature is related to the links shared to the chat, which seems to be even larger compared to earlier.

According to Wabetainfo, the updated link previews offers a slight summary of the content shared in the form of an expanded board when a link is shared on WhatsApp.

Earlier, while sharing a website link on WhatsApp, it shows a preview of the page with an image and no description. This is because the shared link on WhatsApp reads “Open Graph” meta tags present in the link and creates a preview with the link and image.

The latest features are only for WhatsApp beta testing, and the installation will be carried out by regular users with a stable rollout. However, the beta features can change the final release.

On the other hand, WhatsApp is working on a completely new user interface, these new optimizations related to the chat list profile photo, which seems to be even smaller compared to the past.

This is not a big change in terms of the user interface overhauled, but it is related to improving the user interface such as remove the line as a separator between two divisions or parts of the user interface.

WhatsApp Inviting prompt

WhatsApp is enhancing user engagement with a new feature that prompts users to invite their contacts to join the messaging platform. This feature appears as a banner at the top of the chat list and is part of a targeted campaign to increase the app’s user base.

It is currently available to a select group of users who have installed the latest WhatsApp updates on iOS and Android devices. The banner aims to remind users to encourage their friends and family to use WhatsApp.

This approach is especially useful in countries where WhatsApp users are less, as it serves as a visible and convenient prompt for users to invite more people to the platform. By highlighting the advantages of new features and a unified chat experience, WhatsApp is looking to attract more users and maintain its position as a leading messaging service.

The feature is expected to be rolled out more widely in the coming weeks. This new move indicates that WhatsApp wants to keep users informed and connected, using the visibility of in-app notifications.

WhatsApp Drawing Editor

WhatsApp is rolling out a new beta update for Android devices, which brings a redesigned drawing tool. Users can identify the latest beta update through version 2.24.9.6, available on Google Play Store

The fresh beta update shows a new design that relocates the brush and color selection tools to the bottom of the screen. This change is particularly beneficial for larger screens, where reaching the top of the screen can be inconvenient.

Additionally, WhatsApp plans to expand color choices with a palette of 24 default colors, making it easier for users to choose and apply colors quickly. By placing the drawing tool in an easy-to-access place, WhatsApp will allow users to focus less on navigating the interface and more on their creativity.
