WhatsApp New Feature

According to a recent report by WABetainfo, WhatsApp is testing a new camera shortcut. Currently, this feature is in the development phase. It’s not even ready for beta testers yet. Some time ago WhatsApp Beta was released for Android 2.22.19.3 update. With the update came several new features for some beta testers, including the ability to create communities.

When this feature is enabled, the Camera tab will automatically change to the Community tab. This will be so that people have a place where they can find all their communities. However, after this where people will get the camera tab, it is a big question. WhatsApp is working on this only.

Now the camera shortcut will be found here

A screenshot has also been given in the report. This shows that WhatsApp is not removing the camera tab. The company is working on bringing a new shortcut for this. In future updates, the button for the camera will be found near the search button at the top of the right side. Right now the camera tab is given on the left side of the chat section.

As before, clicking on it will open the camera. This is only one of the changes related to the Communities feature, which is being brought to more people in future updates. However, there is no information yet about when this feature will be released.

As per the latest report published by WaBetainfo,

the Camera shortcut which went missing in the previous update is back in the latest Android beta update. With the 2.20.194.11 beta update, WhatsApp is restoring the old Camera shortcut in the chat share sheet. Some previous updates showed the Messenger Rooms shortcut in the chat share sheet and it also led to the removal of the Camera icon. This left some of the best users baffled as they wondered why the Camera icon was gone. The report claims that the camera icon has been enabled by default and people who have not received the camera icon yet should wait until Google rolls it out.

Some beta users had also expressed disappointment over the addition of the Messenger Room

shortcut to the chat share sheet. Users mistook the Messenger Room feature for a WhatsApp feature whereas in reality, it will redirect users to the Messenger app. In short, it is just an integration of the Messenger Room into WhatsApp. It is important to note that the Messenger Room shortcut is only available for beta users and the feature has not been officially rolled out. So if you are trying hard to find the icon in your chat sheet, stop trying as you won’t be able to see it until WhatsApp rolls it out for all users.
