WhatsApp continues to work on improvements to the application, and now we know new tweaks: the possibility of creating a group from a contact’s profile , and also a new system to choose the recipients of a photo or video, available in the window of any chat.
If we enter the profile of a person with whom we are in a group, a new access to “Create group with XXXX” is added in the section where common groups are collected. Pressing it opens the usual menu where we can add other members, write the name of the group and add a photo.
For now, this novelty is in testing. We have the option of installing WhatsApp Beta for Android if we want to test it, although it should reach everyone in a short time. This is what the new option will look like:
The second novelty is that it will now be possible to choose the recipients of a photo or video when sending it from any chat . In the lower area of the preview, the possibility of adding new contacts, groups and even WhatsApp States will appear.
Therefore, we can be talking to a specific person, send them some multimedia element (photo, video or GIF), and before finishing include other people or groups that we think may be interested. This is what the new menu will look like:
This feature appears to some WhatsApp Beta users on Android, and will likely roll out to everyone when Communities goes official . At that time, a tab will be added for WhatsApp Communities that will replace the direct access to the camera on the home screen.
Camera access used to be the most convenient way to send media to multiple recipients at once, so some of its capabilities now come to the standard preview window.
Lastly, WhatsApp UWP Beta for Windows 10 and 11 has been updated with a couple of improvements. It is now possible to view starred messages from the PC program, and the new calling interface has also been implemented.
WhatsApp UWP Beta is now available in the Microsoft Store as an alternative to WhatsApp Web and the traditional Windows program, so we can now download it for free to receive these news.
In general, WhatsApp presents small tweaks to polish the experience , waiting for the Communities to change many more aspects of the instant messaging service.
