The developers of WhatsApp are determined to keep the growing excitement in the instant messaging realm. Other competing apps, such as Telegram, are renowned for their abundance of exciting features. In order not to lose the grip on its leadership, WhatsApp is equally packing up more fun-filled features.
A recent report by WABetaInfo has suggested that WhatsApp is getting prepared to release a redesigned keyboard. This new update takes the user experience on the instant messaging platform to the next level. The new update comes with the Android version 2.23.12.19. It is currently available on the Google Play Store for some beta testers.
Redesigned WhatsApp Keyboard, Changes to Expect
WhatsApp has implemented several changes to the keyboard to make it look a bit cleaner. With the new update, certain buttons will change positions. For example, the buttons to access GIFs, Avatars, and Stickers will now be positioned at the top of the keyboard. These three buttons will be organized as tabs. This will allow users to easily access each tab by just scrolling from left to right and vice versa.
