WhatsApp Beta update enhances content sharing experience on channels
WhatsApp is releasing a new feature for content sharing on channels with its latest beta update for Android. The new update is available for users with version 2.24.14.15 through the Google Play Beta Program.
The fresh update brings a long-awaited feature, which allows beta testers to forward and share messages, photos, videos, and GIFs directly to channels. This new feature simplifies content sharing for channel owners and lets them easily share media from personal chats or other apps like file explorers directly to their channels.
Previously, users had to save media locally before uploading it to channels, but now, the process is seamless and easy. This new feature not only improves the content-sharing experience but also enhances engagement by ensuring that channels remain updated with fresh content.
By removing additional steps, WhatsApp reduces the time and effort required to maintain channels. This feature aims to make WhatsApp more user-friendly for forwarding and sharing content.
The new feature of WhatsApp for channel content sharing and forwarding is currently available for limited beta testers. It is a gradual rollout, more beta testers will soon get it.
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
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.

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.
