WhatsApp has recently added the ability to quickly reply to videos in the latest beta update for Android, which will help to make interactions more seamless. Besides, there are even more updates that are helping the app to provide its users with an even better experience. WhatsApp has released a new update through the Google Play Beta Program that will increase the version to 2.24.14.5
WhatsApp is rolling out a feature to quickly reply to instant video messages
WhatsApp is incorporating more features to enhance the engagement of video messages. According to the WABetainfo report, in the recent update of the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.14.5 update offered on Google Play Store, WhatsApp has started implementing a feature that will enable users to reply to instant video messages swiftly.
According to a screenshot provided by the publication, a new shortcut has appeared next to the video message for some beta testers who update the latest application versions. This shortcut makes the reply process easier since users can reply to specific video messages easily. This new feature of a quick reply to instant video messages is currently enabled for some of the beta testers who use the latest version of WhatsApp for Android available on the Google Play Store and will be expanded to others in the coming days.
A previous WABetaInfo report indicated that the new status update preview feature is available on the right side of the screen for users who subscribe to channels. This design also retains an uncluttered updates tab through the use of a horizontal format.
For users who do not subscribe to any channels, WhatsApp has come up with a vertical list for status updates, which now has a revamped thumbnail that shows the status updates while keeping the profile picture. This change solves the previous problem of the profile picture being replaced by the preview so that contacts can no longer be easily distinguished.
