We might soon see several of the features WhatsApp has planned. Recently, it was hinted that it might soon allow you to message yourself, and now there are rumours of a potential camera shortcut. Here is how it will proceed.
WhatsApp Working on a Camera Shortcut
According to WaBetaInfo, WhatsApp is reportedly testing the new camera shortcut in iOS beta version 22.19.0.75. You can quickly select a photo or a video to post as a Status or send to someone else by using this new option, which will be located adjacent to the new conversation option.
For those who don’t know, the camera option is now located on the iOS app’s bottom section. The new Communities area, which is now accessible to some beta users, is to blame for the move in position. The new WhatsApp Communities section on the app makes it simple for users to organise all of existing groups and establish sub-groups for various interests.
Last month, the new camera shortcut was also noticed on the Android beta version of WhatsApp. This option can be found next to the search bar on Android devices. This indicates that the new modification will likely manifest itself shortly. Below is a screenshot of how this will appear on Android and iOS.
The precise timing of this remains to be revealed. Both the addition of the Communities tab and the relocation of the camera shortcut are things we anticipate happening simultaneously. The Communities feature has not yet begun to trickle out to the general public on WhatsApp.
The ability to look for messages by date is a fascinating feature WhatsApp plans to add. The two-year-old feature is currently being tested on WhatsApp for iOS. It is reported that when looking for messages in a chat, a new calendar icon will show, and selecting the date will make it simpler to find the message.
When and if this will be made official for users are still up in the air. On this, we’ll keep you informed. So, keep checking for new information.
