WhatsApp will also bring the ability to users so they can filter their conversations by sorting their chats to get a list of unread messages, personal conversations, or business chats. The UI is also getting refined, with buttons to toggle these filters now feature much more rounded edges compared to previous ones.
WABetaInfo confirms that the new interface with the White header and Green app name is under development. It will be available in a future update of the app. If you are in the Beta testing program, you may get the redesigned app after updating the app to version 2.23.18.18.
WhatsApp lets you search shared images on the web
WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature for Android users, which allows them to search images shared in chats on the web. This feature is currently available to some beta testers and helps users check the authenticity of images they receive to make it easier to spot fake or edited images.
Previously, WhatsApp hinted at working on the Search images on the web feature in the 2.24.21.31 beta update. Now, it’s being tested with a select group of beta users with version 2.24.23.13.
With this latest beta update, WhatsApp users can now search for images they receive in chats by using a Search on Web option. This option appears when you tap the three-dot menu on an image in your chat.
This new feature allows you to perform a reverse image search through Google to help you find more information about the image. This is especially useful for checking images that may be misleading or fake.
Instead of downloading or manually uploading an image for a search, you can now do it directly within WhatsApp with this new feature.
Notably, the feature is optional, meaning users can choose whether to use it or not. If you decide to search for an image, it’s sent to Google for the reverse search, but WhatsApp itself doesn’t store or process the image to ensure your privacy.
This feature is available to some beta testers who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta update from the Google Play Store. It will be rolled out to more users over the next few weeks
WhatsApp replaces camera shortcut with gallery access in chat bar
WhatsApp replaces camera shortcut with gallery access in chat bar
WhatsApp has introduced a gallery shortcut in its latest update for Android users. This new option allows users to access their photo and video gallery directly from the chat bar.
With the fresh update, the chat bar has now a new gallery icon that replaces the camera shortcut. This change makes it faster for users to access their stored photos and videos without going through multiple steps.
Users can simply tap the new gallery button to browse their media. However, they can still press and hold the button to record instant video messages, so this important feature remains available.
Previously, WhatsApp added a quick reply feature for video messages to make it easier to respond. Now, a new gallery icon is under testing for the WhatsApp chat bar that replaces the camera shortcut.
Currently, the gallery shortcut feature is available only to a limited group of beta testers with WhatsApp Beta version 2.24.23.11 for Android devices. The company seems to be testing this update to gather feedback.
Some users may prefer quick access to the gallery, while others might miss the old camera shortcut. For now, those who have access to the gallery shortcut can enjoy a faster way to share photos and videos.
WhatsApp now lets you easily organize chats with custom lists
WhatsApp now lets you easily organize chats with custom lists
WhatsApp is making it easier to keep your chats organized with a new feature called Custom Lists. This allows you to sort your conversations into categories to make it easier to find what you need.
The Custom Lists feature lets you create personalized lists for your chats. You can group conversations by categories like friends, work, or family. This is a major upgrade from the old chat filters, which only allowed basic sorting. Now, you can make up to 20 different lists.
To create a list, just tap the plus button in the filter bar above your chats, select the contacts or groups you want, and your new list will show up at the top of your chat list. This makes it quick and easy to access the chats that matter most to you.
Ahead of this update, WhatsApp offered limited filtering options, such as sorting by groups, unread messages, or favorites. With Custom Lists, you can organize your chats to fit your personal or work needs to enhance your overall experience.
The Custom Lists feature is rolling out now with the latest WhatsApp version for Android and iOS. Most users should have it within the next few weeks. Install the latest WhatsApp update via Google Play Store or App Store.
