WhatsApp bringing camera video note mode for Android
WhatsApp is rolling out a new update for its Android beta users, introducing an enhanced way to share and create video notes within chats. The latest beta update for Android can be identified through version 2.24.14.14.
With the latest beta update, WhatsApp brings a new camera mode for video notes. Previously, users had to navigate through different interfaces to start video notes. Now, the new update adds a dedicated video note mode directly into the camera interface, eliminating the need to tap and hold separately to record.
Through the new mode, WhatsApp aims to provide a more intuitive and seamless experience to capture and share video messages with their contacts.
The new feature not only enhances usability but also improves efficiency by simplifying the process. It allows users to start recording videos more smoothly, which saves time and improves communication.
Currently, the Camera Video Note mode is available for limited beta testers. WhatsApp plans to gradually roll out this feature to more users.
WhatsApp is updating its verification badges by replacing the green tick with a new blue one. This change is currently being tested with beta users on the Google Play Beta Program.
The new blue tick is a symbol of authenticity for verified channels and businesses on WhatsApp. By matching with the color scheme used on other Meta platforms like Instagram and Facebook, WhatsApp aims to make it easier for users to recognize official accounts.
This enhancement not only improves visuals but also strengthens security by providing a clear marker of verified authenticity. The switch from green to blue provides a secure environment and aligns WhatsApp appearance with other Meta services.
WhatsApp users who have installed the latest beta version 2.24.14.18 can check the blue checkmark on the official channels. This feature will gradually rollout to more beta testers in the coming days.
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 simplifying the process of transferring chat history from one phone to another through a new feature. The fresh beta (2.24.13.6) update of WhatsApp introduces a new way for a seamless transfer of conversations from an old phone to a new one, without the need for Google Drive backups.
With Beta 2.23.9.19, WhatsApp brought a QR code-based system that allows users to move their chat history directly between Android devices. The beta new update suggests the possibility of extending this feature to allow cross-platform chat history transfers, potentially including iOS devices.
Presently, WhatsApp supports chat history transfers between iOS and Android, but it’s limited to newer Android versions and requires a physical cable. The new update aims to eliminate these restrictions to offer a universal solution for all users. This new feature would be a significant improvement over the current chat transferring method.
The details of how this new universal transfer feature will work are not yet clear, as it is still under development. Through this, WhatsApp aims to provide a more user-friendly and universally applicable migration solution.
