WhatsApp is working on a series of improvements and functions for the iOS 14 version of its messaging application, according to a report by WABetaInfo.
The report stated that beta update 2.20.100 for WhatsApp includes signs that the following features are coming to the iPhone app:
- Search bar changes
- Limited library support
- Always mute
- Catalog shortcut
- Expired media
The changes include a larger search bar for chats, as well as the ability to allow WhatsApp access only to the photos you select from your photo library instead of all images.
The latest iOS beta update for WhatsApp also reveals a new option to mute a chat permanently, rather than just for eight hours or a week.
Direct Catalog Access adds an icon to a company’s catalog within your business chat if configured, allowing potential customers to quickly and easily access a company’s products.
WhatsApp for iOS will also get the expiring media feature that was recently revealed in a recent beta version of WhatsApp for Android.
This feature allows users to send images, videos, or GIFs that will disappear after they are viewed for the first time.
To submit media that expires once this feature is available, users will need to tap the new button when submitting media via chat.
There is no timer to set as the image will completely disappear after viewing.
Currently, the only implementation of this feature in the latest beta version of WhatsApp for iOS is a button indicating the option to send expiring media.
WABetaInfo noted that these features are still in development and there is no confirmed public release date for this functionality.
