WhatsApp remains a favorite for sharing photos, mainly because it keeps image quality higher compared to other apps. However, users have long complained about one issue: selecting multiple images at once was a hassle. The latest beta update aims to solve this problem and make the experience smoother.
WhatsApp’s New Update Makes Image Sharing Easier
According to WaBetaInfo, the recent beta update (Android version 2.24.24.9) brings a major change to image selection. Before this update, selecting a photo would immediately take users to the editing screen. This was frustrating for those who wanted to quickly select multiple photos. Now, WhatsApp has simplified this process. When you pick an image, it returns you to the chat screen instead, allowing you to select more photos without interruption.
Despite this change, the editing option is still there. If you want to edit a photo, you can simply tap the “Edit” button. This update gives users a choice: either send photos quickly or spend time editing them first.
New Features for Adding Captions
WhatsApp has also added a new feature for captions. Now, when sending multiple photos or videos, you can add a caption to each one individually. If you prefer, you can also add a single caption that applies to all the selected media at once. This update makes it easier to describe what you are sharing, especially when sending many photos or videos together.
Other Small Improvements
WhatsApp is testing a few more changes to enhance the user experience. For instance, accessing the media gallery has become easier, allowing you to quickly browse and select images. These changes are still in the beta testing phase, so some users might notice small bugs as the app is being improved.
Final Thoughts
These updates show WhatsApp’s effort to make the app more user-friendly. The simpler image selection and better caption options help make sharing photos quicker and easier. If you’ve tried the latest beta version, what do you think of these new features? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
