WhatsApp features: Latest updates - Changed built-in camera, redesigned caption view and more
hatsApp for iOS has introduced some changes to the built-in camera on the iPhone with version 22.4.0.72
WhatsApp latest update: Meta-owned popular messaging platform WhatsApp has picked up a number of features and improvements over the past few months to provide better service to the users. Now, the messaging application is reportedly working on some new features, including tweaking the built-in camera and a redesigned caption view, for iOS users.
"With the latest betas, the app is tweaking the built-in camera, as well as revamping other functions, reports 9To5Mac. WhatsApp for iOS has introduced some changes to the built-in camera on the iPhone with version 22.4.0.72," the news agency IANS reported.
According to the report, with the change, users have a bit more privacy when taking photos, as currently users could accidentally swipe up and show at least six of their personal images. The update prevents this. Not only that, but the camera icon on WhatsApp for iOS has also been redesigned, the report said.
According to the publication, these changes are already available to beta testers. Last week, WABetaInfo, a website that tracks, WhatsApp, also discovered that WhatsApp is developing a redesigned caption view that also shows a list of the chosen recipients. Unlike the tweaks for the built-in camera, this other feature is still under development, so it is not available to beta testers as of now.
WhatsApp is reportedly planning to bring iMessage-like reactions on its platform soon. The messaging application seems almost ready to release this feature. WABetaInfo has shared some screenshots of WhatsApp reactions, giving us an early preview of what the feature might look like once it goes live.
According to the report, WhatsApp users will see a row of emoji just above the message. It's unclear whether users will have to long-press on a message or there will be a dedicated button next to the message to add a reaction. The message reactions will come with end-to-end encryptions, but for now, very little information is available.
