A new feature for users of the WhatsApp Android version is said to enable lightning-fast replies to images.
Munich – The messaging app WhatsApp is constantly developing new features to make chatting as pleasant as possible for users. Meta is said to be working on the possibility that WhatsApp customers will soon be able to chat with users of other messengers. The changes are intended to make the app appear in a new design.
WhatsApp users of the Android version had already demanded a more modern interface some time ago. According to the information portal of WhatsappWABetaInfo.com, after the improved design of the beta version 2.23.8.4, further changes are already pending. The app will also be visually adapted by the new version 2.23.18.18.

These new features await WhatsApp users
In the new interface, the bar will appear in white and the app name in green. In addition, the developers want to test new features that can be used to sort chats according to content. Since WhatsApp is also being used more and more often for work, users should be able to sort chats according to "unread", "private" and "business". However, these changes are still in the testing phase. Thanks to the new "camouflage mode", the phone number will soon no longer be required for a chat.
In addition, users of the Android version of WhatsApp can look forward to a new reply bar. This comes with the update of the new version 2.23.20.20. The answer bar appears at the bottom of the screen. With the help of these, users can react to a GIF, video or photo at lightning speed. In addition to a short reaction via emoji, a reply can also be written or the received media can be saved.
While some smartphone owners are happy about innovations, others have not been able to use the app as usual since October 2023. Whatsapp explains that older Android phones that do not have at least a 5.0 version installed will no longer have the latest security updates. (mima
