WhatsApp is currently working on several new features such as channels and the ability to edit messages. Now a new testing feature has been observed for this messaging service Menu related to messages transforms
According to reports, the redesigned Messages menu is currently in beta testing, but WABetaInfo, a website that provides the latest news on WhatsApp, has shared a few screenshots showing the menu’s new look. Currently, when users tap and hold on a message, a few emojis are shown to react, and there are options like delete message and forward in the top bar.
New design of WhatsApp messages menu
But according to the provided image of the latest version of WhatsApp (v2.23.11.4), you will be faced with a drop-down menu when selecting messages. Apparently, this new menu is similar to what is already in the iOS version of the app. In this version, the delete, forward, reply, and info options are in a drop-down list, and the reaction emojis still appear at the top of each message.
The new WhatsApp messages menu is still under development and only beta testers have access to it. However, this change shows that the popular messaging app Meta plans to use a common design language across all platforms. With this feature, WhatsApp also revives its application design language and offers some modern features to users.
WhatsApp is also recently testing another feature titled Chat Lock which provides a higher level of security to users. With this feature, users can move some of their conversations to a folder called Locked Chats that can be opened with a password or fingerprint. Also, notifications related to chats inside this folder will be hidden.
