WhatsApp has a long list of features we may see soon. It was recently suggested that it would soon add the ability for you to message yourself and now we are hearing about a possible camera shortcut. Here’s how this will work.
WaBetaInfo suggests that WhatsApp is testing the new camera shortcut as part of the iOS beta version 22.19.0.75. This new option will be placed next to the new chat option, allowing you to easily click a photo or a video for posting as a Status or sending it to another person.
However, it remains to be seen when exactly this happens. We expect both the entry of the Communities tab and the new position of the camera shortcut to appear at the same time. WhatsApp is yet to start rolling out the Communities feature publically.
Another interesting feature WhatsApp is planning on adding is the ability to search for messages by date. The feature, which was abandoned two years ago, is now being tested on WhatsApp for iOS. It is said that a new calendar icon will appear while searching for messages in a chat and selecting the date will make it easier to find the message.
