WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature in its latest beta update for Android, which arrives with version 2.24.25.7. This update lets users easily discover and follow WhatsApp channels using QR codes to make it quicker and more convenient to share channels.
With this update, WhatsApp users can now generate and share a QR code for their channel to make it easier for others to follow. Instead of copying and pasting a link, users can simply show their QR code for others to scan. Once scanned, users will be directed to the channel, where they can follow it with just one tap.
This new feature of WhatsApp makes sharing channels much easier, especially in face-to-face situations, where users can scan the QR code directly from a device screen without having to type or click links.
To access the QR code, channel owners just need to open their channel and go to the sharing options in the top app bar. Here, they will see the option to create a QR code for their channel. Once created, the QR code can be shared in different ways, such as through messages, flyers, business cards, posters, and product packaging.
This feature makes it easier for people to share and promote their channels both digitally and physically. By simply showing a QR code, channel owners can reach more people and make their channels easier to discover.
The QR code feature for channels is currently available to select beta testers of WhatsApp for Android. The feature is expected to be rolled out to more users over the coming days.
WhatsApp now allows you to add custom message to forwarded content
WhatsApp is bringing a new feature that lets users add custom messages when forwarding any type of content. This feature is currently available to some beta testers with WhatsApp Android beta version 2.24.25.3 and will be available to more users in the coming weeks.
The new beta update brings the ability to add a message when forwarding any content like links, images, text messages, and documents. This makes it simpler to share content and clarify your intention.
Previously, you could only add a message when forwarding media files like photos or videos. Now, you can include a custom message to make it easier to give extra context or explanations to the recipient.
For instance, if you forward a news article link, you can add your thoughts or a summary of the article. Also, If you forward a text message, you can explain more about the message or add personal comments.
Currently, WhatsApp only allows users to add a message when forwarding media files like images, videos, and GIFs. If you want to explain something or give context for a text message or a link, you have to send a separate follow-up message. With this new beta update, WhatsApp starts testing a new feature, aiming to make the process easier.
This new feature is available to some users who have installed the WhatsApp beta update from the Google Play Beta Program. WhatsApp plans to roll out this feature to more users in the coming weeks, after its beta testing.
WhatsApp for Android lets you share complete sticker packs easily
WhatsApp has pushed a new beta update with version 2.24.25.2, which allows users to share entire sticker packs with friends and groups. This new option makes it much easier to send stickers without needing to send each one individually.
Currently, WhatsApp’s stable version only lets users send stickers one at a time, which is slow if you want to share a lot. Now, the app makes it much easier to send an entire pack at once, improving how users share their favorite stickers with others.
Users of WhatsApp Beta can now share complete sticker packs with just a few taps. To do this, open the sticker picker in a chat, tap the three-dot menu next to a sticker pack, and select the Share option.
For WhatsApp’s official sticker packs, sharing will send a link to the recipient, who can then download the pack directly from the sticker store. For third-party sticker packs (custom stickers), users can send the stickers directly in the chat, without needing to visit the store.
This update is useful for those who want to share large collections of stickers quickly. Instead of picking and sending each sticker individually, you can now share the whole pack at once, making the process faster and more fun.
The new sticker pack sharing feature is available to limited beta testers and WhatsApp plans to roll it out to more users in the coming weeks. If you’re a beta tester, you can try it by updating to WhatsApp version 2.24.25.2 through the Google Play Store.
