The Meta-owned WhatsApp has announced it will soon be launching a new interface to enhance communication while sharing channel updates with Status.
The purpose of this new interface is to improve user experience and boost status reply participation.
It will first be available to some beta testers after downloading the most recent WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.1.6 update from the Google Play Store, according to WABetaInfo, which added that more people will be able to access it in the coming weeks.
The new user interface has been designed to address a problem with the chat attachment sheet with a dedicated layout for the channel update to provide clarity that the content posted on Status originates from a channel.
Additionally, if you want to check if this feature is already available for your account, simply share a channel update to your status. The quickest way to do this is by forwarding a channel update.
Furthermore, WhatsApp has recently introduced another entry point within the status subtitle, allowing users to promptly access and view the content from the associated channel.
Overall, these new features are designed to make the WhatsApp user experience more enjoyable and interactive.
According to WABetaInfo, “the updated interface for sharing channel updates to Status is a clear manifestation of the platform’s commitment to enhancing the user experience.”
The refreshed interface offers an intuitive layout, making it easier for users to interact and access shared channel updates.
