WhatsApp Update: Meta

Apr 30, 2024

San Francisco, July 31: Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is rolling out a new interface for action sheets on iOS. The official changelog doesn't mention the new interface.

However, WABetaInfo confirmed that the new action sheets are released to some users that install the latest version of the app. Users who don't have this new interface should not be concerned as some accounts might get it in the upcoming weeks.

In June, the messaging platform was rolling out a new interface for action sheets to some beta testers on iOS. New action sheets were being added by the platform when muting, deleting, clearing or exporting a conversation. Also, a redesigned action sheet was available when toggling the ability to save media to the photos app or viewing the chat shortcuts.

Earlier this month, the Meta-owned platform was widely rolling out landscape mode support for video calls and silence unknown callers option, on iOS. The platform was also rolling out the ability to natively transfer full account history when switching to a new device. Redesigned sticker tray with improved navigation and a larger set of stickers including more Avatars were also rolling out. iPhone 15 Pro Price: Apple's Upcoming iPhone To Come With Titanium Frame, Slimmer Bezels and Cost Increase, Says Report.

Meanwhile, it was reported that the company was rolling out a feature on iOS beta, which allows users to send high-quality videos. While this feature preserves video dimensions, minor compression will still be applied to the video, thus sending videos in their original quality is not possible.

The default option will always be 'Standard quality' for all videos, therefore, users have to select the high-quality option every time they want to send a video with better quality.
