WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging app owned by Meta, is getting ready to release a redesigned emoji keyboard. This new keyboard brings some exciting changes for users. According to reports from WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp updates, certain users will have the chance to try out the redesigned keyboard through the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.12.19 update, which can be found on the Google Play Store.
One of the key features of the redesigned keyboard is the ability to scroll it upwards, providing users with a wider view. Additionally, the tabs for accessing GIFs, stickers, and avatars have been repositioned higher up on the screen.
Beta testers may also notice some changes in the arrangement of the media sharing and emoji keyboard buttons. Although there might be some minor bugs experienced by some users, these issues will certainly be addressed and fixed in future updates.
Currently, the redesigned keyboard is available to a select group of beta testers, but it is expected to roll out to more users in the coming weeks. WhatsApp is also working on a new interface for the group settings screen on iOS. If you are a group administrator and have installed the latest update from the App Store, you can already explore and try out the redesigned screen.
Alongside the revamped interface, WhatsApp is introducing a new feature called “Add Other Participants.” This feature gives group administrators the ability to control who can add new members to the group. It’s important to note that this feature may be gradually released to users in the upcoming weeks, so not everyone will have access to it right away.
The updated group settings screen is now available to iOS users who have installed the latest WhatsApp update from the App Store. Additionally, it is being rolled out to users who are part of the beta version. Make sure to keep your WhatsApp updated from the App Store or the TestFlight app to ensure you receive this feature in the future if you don’t have it after installing the latest update.
