WhatsApp has released a new beta update, which introduces a feature that makes it easier to organize and navigate through chats. The update arrives with version 2.25.4.12 and is available through the Google Play Beta Program.

The new feature keeps the chat filters always visible at the top of your screen when you open WhatsApp. Filters are used to organize chats into categories like personal, group, or custom lists. Before this update, users had to scroll through their chat list to see these filters. Now, you can see the filters right away without any additional steps.

In addition to this new feature, WhatsApp is also showing a small number next to each filter. These numbers let you know how many unread messages are in each category. This makes it quicker to see if important messages are waiting for you.

Furthermore, the updates also bring changes to the favorites filter. Now, the favorites filter will appear first, ahead of other filters, making it easier to access your most important chats, like with family or close friends.

Currently, the new feature is available to some beta testers. It will be available to more users in the coming weeks as the stable version is available.

WhatsApp may soon let you edit album caption within 15 minutes

WhatsApp has released a new update through the Google Play Beta Program, which introduces the ability to edit the album caption. The beta update arrives for Android devices with the app version 2.25.3.12 through the Google Play Beta Program.

Right now, once you send an album on WhatsApp, you can’t edit the caption. This is because albums are managed separately from single media messages. With single messages, you can edit the caption after sending, but albums don’t have that option. If you make a mistake in the caption or forget something important, you have to delete and resend the whole album.

However, WhatsApp is working on a solution to this. With upcoming updates, users will be able to edit their album captions within 15 minutes of sending. This means if you make a mistake or need to add more information, you won’t have to resend the entire album.

With the edit album caption feature, you can just fix the caption instead of resending it. This feature will make it easier to correct any errors quickly.

This feature will be mainly useful in group chats or shared media, where captions provide important context for the photos or videos. The ability to quickly modify captions will help avoid confusion and ensure that media shared within the app is more accurate and meaningful.

The Edit album caption isn’t available yet but WhatsApp is actively working on it. This feature will be included in a future update for Android users. Stay tuned for more information.

WhatsApp now lets you create events in individual chats

WhatsApp has released a new update for Android users, with version 2.25.3.6 through the Google Play Beta Program. The update brings a brand-new feature that lets you create and share events on WhatsApp in individual chats.

Until now, this event feature was only available in group chats and now it’s expanding to individual conversations. This feature makes it even easier to organize personal plans.

With this new WhatsApp feature, you can schedule events, set reminders, and share event details directly in your individual chats. Whether it’s a meeting, an appointment, or just a casual get-together, you can now plan it all without leaving WhatsApp. It means no more endless back-and-forth messages or the need to use separate apps to set up your schedule.

For example, if you’re discussing a deadline with a colleague, you can now create an event with the date and time, and both of you will get reminders. Or if you’re arranging an appointment with a doctor, you can set the date and time right in the chat. The event details are shared with both people in the conversation, so everyone stays on the same page.

You can also add a location for in-person meetings or link the event to a video or audio call for virtual meetings. In addition, recipients can accept or decline the event, which helps keep communication clear.

This feature is now available to some beta testers and will be rolled out to more users soon. Stay tuned for more information.

Latest WhatsApp Beta fixes emoji keyboard and chat bar issues

WhatsApp has released a new beta update for Android users, which addresses annoying issues that affected the chat bar and emoji keyboard functionality. The fresh update arrives with version 2.25.3.4 via the Google Play Beta Program.

Users of the previous beta update experienced issues where the chat bar would incorrectly appear beneath the emoji keyboard. This issue makes it difficult to quickly return to typing after selecting emojis.

With this latest update, WhatsApp has resolved the issue to ensure that the chat bar stays in its correct position when switching between the emoji keyboard and the text input area. This fix restores a smooth and seamless experience for users, which improves the overall chat functionality.

In addition to the bug fix, WhatsApp has been developing a welcome screen for the AI-powered chatbot tab. This feature will guide users on how to use AI chatbots within the app.

Users should be aware that bugs and glitches are part of the testing process. It’s always recommended to back up chat history before updating. If you are facing issues with the chat bar and emoji keyboard functionality, install the latest WhatsApp beta update now.
