In addition to a plethora of new features WhatsApp is seen testing (which can make their entry sooner or later), the Meta-owned messaging platform is now working on a redesigned camera UI for its iOS app. Here’s a look at what new changes we can expect.
A recent report by WABetaInfo reveals that the new camera UI is a part of the latest WhatsApp for iOS beta version 2.22.4.72. It will bring a couple of minor changes. To start with, the updated camera UI won’t showcase the current horizontal media bar, from which a user can choose to upload or send media quickly.
The redesigned UI will instead show a new button in the bottom left corner, which will direct users to the phone’s Photos app to choose the photo or video they wish to share with others or upload as a Status. This small change will prove helpful when you don’t want others to see the content of your gallery, which presently can be viewed by people around you.
WhatsApp is also found testing a new Caption View for iOS users. The redesigned Caption View will showcase the list of contacts that will be able to see the uploaded Status.
It will also allow users to upload media from a given WhatsApp chat as Status. This will be an extension of the current ability that allows users to upload the photos or videos taken from WhatsApp’s inbuilt camera as Status. The feature is still under development, and it remains to be seen when it will be introduced for iOS and Android users.
