In the screenshot, you can see that at the bottom of the screen, users will have the choice to select whether to share text, videos, or photos, making the sharing process even better. This new way of sharing status updates is still in the works and will be available in a future update of the app.
Right now, users can only get to the text-based status editor by tapping the pencil icon in the Updates tab. It’s good to know that WhatsApp doesn’t let you switch the status type (text, photo, video) once you’re in the editor/preview page. If you need to change it, you will have to go back and start over.
If the new update moves out of beta and becomes official, it could bring several benefits, especially by cutting down the number of steps needed to switch between text and media. With this choice integrated directly into the composer, users can swiftly switch between various types of content without having to leave the current screen. This will improve efficiency and convenience.
In other news, WhatsApp is rumored to be working on AI-powered image editing tools. But that’s not all in the AI realm, as the messaging app is said to be considering integrating Meta AI directly into its search bar.
