THE WhatsApp It is the world’s largest online messaging and communications platform, used by more than two billion users each month. Therefore, it is natural that the Meta group is constantly working on new roles for service.
In fact, we have a new camera interface for the WhatsApp application for Android, which will later arrive in the iOS version. At the same time, we also have a new and useful tool for administrators of whatsapp groups.
There is a new user interface for the WhatsApp camera on Android
First, as the WABetaInfo post, dedicated to WhatsApp news, progresses, we have a new look, a different design that comes to the camera application integrated into the Android application. Below we can see its new design.
According to the publication, the main differences are present in the button / switch to use the flash when capturing an image and / or video for WhatsApp. Likewise, the camera switch button will also receive an appearance change.
Please note that these changes are present in the trial version of WhatsApp for Android. More specifically, in version 2.22.1.2 of the application for Android mobile devices, still in beta, with a possible application in the stable version.
However, we don’t know exactly when or if these changes will make it to the stable version for Android and iOS. However, this is likely based on the update history of this service for both platforms.
In short, it will be an aesthetic change to make the camera app more attractive to Android and iOS users.
WhatsApp group administrators will be able to delete messages
Second we have the confirmation of an important control / power for group administrators in WhatsApp. Once this change takes effect, any group administrator will be able to delete the messages of other participants.
This measure aims to simplify the group moderation process, with administrators having the direct power to control what is published in their group, without further explanation. However, you will be presented with the warning that “this message has been removed by the group administrator”, as we can see below.
The change is present in beta version 2.22.1.1 of WhatsApp for Android. That said, it is not yet available to the general public and this is likely to happen in the next few weeks.
In short, we have a subtle design change, as well as a nice boost to the powers of the group admins. Now, we can finally wait for the effective application of these news to WhatsApp with the next updates to the application.
