WhatsApp beta brings a new shortcut for the camera

Published

on

WhatsApp (1)

It has already been a while since the WhatsApp team announced the Communities, which are actual aggregators of groups inside of a single maxi-group. However, since then, the news has only occasionally been announced through official channels within the “app,” sticking to sporadic appearances and the occasional release of tracks within different preview versions.

One of the graphical and functional innovations that will accompany the introduction of Communities is linked to the card that will contain the same, which will replace the one currently assigned to the WhatsApp camera, in the bar next to the chat list, status updates, and calls.

However, the camera shortcut isn’t going away from the WhatsApp home screen: users running the latest beta versions of the popular messaging app, both on Android and iOS, are receiving some information about it.

WhatsApp brings a new shortcut for the camera in the latest beta update:

The development team of the popular messaging app is releasing a new alternative camera shortcut, just for those who have already received the new Community tab and, as a result, no longer found the camera among the features in the foreground within the app.

This is an almost necessary step in the path that will lead to the release of new groups of groups for the WhatsApp Beta testers for Android and iOS.

The new camera shortcut will be positioned at the top of the WhatsApp home screen, to the left of the icon for starting a new chat on iOS (image a left), and to the left of the icon for searching within chats on Android, according to what was observed by the specialized portal WaBetaInfo (image on the right).

TelegramThe new camera shortcut was already available to some Android WhatsApp Beta users upon the release of version 2.22.19.7 of the app with new activations upon the release of version 2.22.20.4, which also displayed the new shortcut to some users who were not yet viewing the new Communities tab.

The Communities tab’s continued existence serves as the common denominator, so if it’s a return of the shortcut for Android users, it’s a first for iOS users.

For those using the most recent beta versions of WhatsApp, which are version 2.22.21.5 for Android and version 2.22.0.73 for iOS, the new WhatsApp camera shortcut is being phased out (versions marked as “compatible” with this feature)

How to participate in WhatsApp’s beta testing:

If you want to try the latest version of WhatsApp Beta for smartphones based on the Google mobile operating system, you have the possibility to do it through the Google Play Store, by subscribing to the beta testing channel (you can find the page dedicated to this program by following this link).

Those who have not managed to sign up for the beta program but would like to try this version of the messaging app in a preview can do so by manually installing the relative APK file, which can be downloaded from APK Mirror (find the dedicated page by following this link).
