San Francisco, NFAPost: Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out a new photo and video shortcut within chats and groups, on Windows beta.
The new option will allow users to share photos and videos directly from the application, reports WABetaInfo.
Earlier, users were only able to share media by using drag and drop and the other sharing option called ‘File’, however, this option only allowed users to share photos and videos as documents.
The new photo and video shortcut has been released to beta testers after installing the WhatsApp beta for Windows 2.2306.2.0 update, which is available on the Microsoft Store.
The new feature is expected to roll out to more users over the coming days, the report said.
Meanwhile, in December last year, it was reported that the messaging platform was rolling out a new feature that gives users the ability to disable notifications for calls on Windows beta.
This feature is useful because notifications for calls might show up even when do not disturb mode is enabled due to an unexpected issue, so users can manually fix that bug by disabling those notifications.
WhatsApp working to bring communities feature to its biz app
Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly working to bring communities to its WhatsApp Business application on Android.
The platform is not likely to remove the business tab which was introduced last year, reports WABetaInfo. Instead, it might add a new entry point for the new feature right within the application menu.
When users will open ‘Communities’ right within the menu, they will see the list of all the communities they created and joined in the past, including all their subgroups and community announcement groups.
Moreover, businesses will be able to create a new community within this section. The ability to create, manage, and use communities on WhatsApp Business is currently under development so it is not yet ready to be released to beta testers, the report said.
In November last year, the messaging platform had announced new features for a better commerce experience for users and to help them connect with their favourite brands as well as find new ones on the platform.
