San Francisco: WhatsApp, the messaging app owned by Meta, is reportedly working on a feature to add a new camera shortcut for iPhone users on their app, IANS reported.
WABetaInfo reports that WhatsApp has issued a new update through the TestFlight beta Programme, pushing the version up to 22.19.0.75. While the version marked within WhatsApp Settings is 2.22.19.75, the TestFlight build is 22.19.0.
As per a screenshot, the camera shortcut is located within the navigation bar. It is supposed to show up for those users that can already create a community in the future, IANS reports.
The feature is exactly similar to the one added to the WhatsApp beta for Android. But the Android update was removed temporarily due to a bug, the WABetaInfo report suggested.
The feature will only be available for users after it is released by WhatsApp in a future update, the report added.
A report earlier this month suggested that WhatsApp was working on another feature for businesses to let them manage chats from their linked devices in an upcoming subscription service WhatsApp introduced for businesses.
A new optional subscription plan, named WhatsApp Premium, would allow users to use extra features like the ability to create a custom business link and link up to 10 devices to their accounts.
