In an era where messaging is one of the most commonly used forms of communication, the demand for improvement in this experience is relentless. WhatsApp, attentive to the needs of its users, has launched a functionality called “quick reply bar” in its beta version (2.23.20.20) available through the Google Play Beta Program.
This feature allows users to quickly respond to images, videos, and GIFs without the need to leave the current screen, making conversations more seamless and contextual. The idea is to reduce interruptions in usage and optimize the overall user interaction. Those who wish to try out this new feature simply need to install the latest beta version of WhatsApp from the Google Play Store. It is expected that this functionality will be available to everyone soon.
Other Updates that Arrived on WhatsApp
In addition to the quick reply bar, WhatsApp has invested in other updates to enrich the user experience. Among them, shortcuts have been introduced to facilitate the addition of participants in group calls, and the “Flows” feature has been launched to enhance the in-app shopping experience.
And for Apple enthusiasts, a long-awaited novelty: a native version of WhatsApp for iPad is being developed, in response to longstanding user requests. Recently, WhatsApp also introduced a feature called “Channels.”
This feature allows for the creation of one-way communication channels, ideal for broad and anonymous interactions. Unlike regular conversations, in these channels, administrators can share various types of content such as text, images, videos, stickers, and polls, while maintaining the privacy of both administrators and followers. However, opinions on this new feature are still divided.
These updates reflect the company’s commitment to offer its users an increasingly enhanced experience. With the constant evolution of the technological world, it is crucial for platforms like WhatsApp to adapt and innovate, effectively addressing the needs and desires of its users.
