Those clever folks at WABetaInfo – a Twitter account that trawls through the code in the latest WhatsApp beta releases to unearth evidence of new features or design tweaks coming soon – have uncovered the first look at an upcoming Facebook feature set to invade the chat app.
WABetaInfo has uncovered how Messenger Rooms will be implemented inside WhatsApp.
If the screenshots shared by WABetaInfo are correct (and provided WhatsApp doesn’t make any changes before the feature rolls out worldwide), it looks like Messenger Rooms will be accessible from within any groups – or from the main menu, where users would habitually be able to create a new group.
Since the feature is not currently live in the beta version of the app, it’s unclear whether creating a Messenger Room inside an existing group chat in WhatsApp will automatically add everyone in the group into the video call. Or whether you’ll need to send the invite link to friends separately.
Unfortunately, there’s no precise release date for Messenger Rooms, with Facebook only confirming that it will be coming to countries around the world in the “coming weeks”.
