WhatsApp is testing a new feature that will make it much easier to share messages, photos, videos, and other media with other apps. This new beta update WhatsApp Beta for Android arrives with version 2.24.25.20, available through the Google Play Beta Program.
The new feature adds a bottom bar to the WhatsApp app, allowing users to quickly share content with other platforms. When you want to share a message, photo, video, or GIF, you’ll have the option to send it directly to apps like Instagram and Facebook.
It means you can post media from your WhatsApp chats as stories on Instagram or Facebook without needing to download and upload the content manually.
Moreover, WhatsApp is also planning to expand sharing options to include other popular platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Snapchat. If you want to share an update from a WhatsApp channel, the app will generate a special link, making it easy to share channel content across other platforms.
To give users more flexibility, WhatsApp will add a “More” option to the new interface, allowing you to share content with even more apps beyond those listed in the bottom bar.
This new sharing feature is currently under development, but it will be available in a future update. For now, beta users can test this feature by installing the latest version. Keep an eye out for this feature in upcoming updates as WhatsApp continues to improve the sharing experience.
WhatsApp redesigns chat list interface with latest beta update
Your Samsung phone will soon update Gemini AI to enable calls and texts without unlocking the lock screen. Google is continuously working to evolve Gemini with new features and improvements, making it a one-stop assistant solution.
Samsung phones have three choices for digital assistant on mobile: Bixby, Google Assistant, and Gemini. Bixby is crafted by Samsung, while the other two options are from Google, and you can use only one of those at a time.
Gemini has taken over Google Assistant, thanks to its AI and Generative AI capabilities. Now with the lock screen functioning support, Gemini AI allows Android and Samsung phone users to make calls and send texts without unlocking.

Google app’s upcoming 15.48 update will deploy the feature on compatible devices. The app’s build is currently in the Beta testing stage. Gemini already supports calls and texts, but the update aims to ditch the requirement of unlocking the phone.
How to enable:
- Open Gemini and go to the app’s Settings section
- Now, access the Gemini on lock screen page
- Next, enter the Outgoing calls and messages section
- Enable the Make calls and send message without unlocking toggle
- NOTE: Only works on Google app v15.48.
9to5Google discovered that Gemini would take more time to get the same functionality as Gmail. While phone calls and text messages are enabled on the lock screen, Gmail still requires the phone to be unlocked by the user.
WhatsApp has released a new update with version 2.24.25.8, which brings a redesigned interface for managing chat lists. This update is available through the Google Play Beta Program for Android users.
The new update improves how users manage chat filters. Filters like “Favorites” and “Unread” now appear more clearly at the top of the screen to make them easy to find.
There’s also a new shortcut to create custom filters. Below these, users will see a redesigned button that makes it simple to create a new list. Additionally, WhatsApp now allows users to restore any deleted filters with a single tap, thanks to a new button next to them.
Currently, WhatsApp stable version app users can delete filters like “Groups” or “Unread” by long-pressing on them. The new design aims to make the chat management process smoother by offering a cleaner and more intuitive layout.
This update is currently available to limited beta testers. However, WhatsApp plans to roll out the redesigned interface to more users in the coming days with the stable update. So, if you’re not seeing the new design yet, it could be available on your WhatsApp soon.
