WhatsApp, the popular messaging platform owned by Meta, is undergoing a wide release of a new feature on iOS. The app’s official changelog still includes mentions of features from previous updates, indicating an ongoing gradual rollout, as reported by WABetaInfo.
The newly introduced community entry point shortcut will be accessible within the community announcement group. It provides users with a convenient list of all the groups linked to the community, enhancing navigation and accessibility.
This feature particularly benefits community administrators, as it enables them to quickly add a new group to the community without having to navigate to the community information section.
The report notes that although not explicitly mentioned in the official changelog, some accounts may receive this feature in the coming weeks.
In addition to this latest update, WhatsApp recently began testing a screen-sharing feature for video calls on iOS. The feature allows beta users to share the content of their screens with all participants in the call.
When utilizing this functionality, all activities displayed on the users’ screens, including notifications, will be captured and shared with the individuals connected to the ongoing video call.
WhatsApp continues to innovate and expand its offerings, providing users with new tools and capabilities to enhance their messaging experience. With these updates, the platform aims to make group interactions more seamless and efficient, while also exploring new avenues for screen sharing and collaboration within video calls.
