WhatsApp is working on a number of upgrades to improve the user experience according to a new report.
According to WABetaInfo, the instant messaging app is working on upgrading messages using their altered version for a future update of the app. Users will be able to edit sent messages once the feature is released.
The “edit messages” feature will be rolled out through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version up to 2.22.20.12. The website also shared the first screenshot of the feature which is still in the development phase. As this feature is in the under-development stage, its release date is not known yet.
“WhatsApp is now working on the process that lets the app update the message by using its edited version: this is a sign that WhatsApp keeps working on this feature.
In case you are using an outdated build of WhatsApp, you have to update the app when you receive an edited version of a message from the recipient or a linked device.,” WABetaInfo wrote.
The ability to hide the online status was just made available to some iOS beta users through the Meta-Owned app.
A similar function was made available to some Android beta users earlier this week. According to reports, WhatsApp users can use this function to restrict who can view their last seen from knowing when they are online.
The app is also working on sending a new in-app survey conversation to a very small number of users to get input. After obtaining an invitation, users can provide feedback on new features, products, and other items. The request for input is optional, so users are free to decline it.
