WABetaInfo has reported that Meta-owned WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will make chats automatically translate into Android devices.

According to WABetaInfo, the ability to listen to video and music audio together is now available to some beta testers.

WhatsApp is bringing three new features in the new iOS update: pinned messages, connection health checkup for video calls, and "view once" for audio messages. 

The new formatting tools: code blocking, quoting specific text and creating lists are available only to beta testers as of now. The company plans to expand to all users globally soon. 

WhatsApp is working on a new sidebar and group chat filter feature for the web client. It aims to better categorize conversations and navigate through the app, and they will be available in the future.

The second feature is a redesigned settings interface, which will give users a more modern experience when navigating through the app's various options.

WABetaInfo, a reputable feature tracker, asserts that this capability is presently in the hands of a limited test group. 

Beta users will now see a new 'Create' button when opening the keyboard within the sticker tab, reports WABetaInfo.

The new security feature to protect the account using an email address is expected to be rolled out in a future update of the app, the report said. Last month, it was reported that the messaging platform was rolling out new safety tools for when users receive messages from unknown phone numbers, on Android beta.

According to WABetaInfo, a new banner may appear within group chats, encouraging people to add new participants to the group. 

The Meta-owned platform was also rolling out a new 'link with phone number' feature on Android beta, which allows users to link their account to WhatsApp Web by using their phone number.

The new feature will also help to save the users' time. The sticker suggestion feature is currently available to some beta testers that install the latest update of WhatsApp beta for iOS, and is expected to roll out to more users over the coming days, the report said.

Beta users will receive a message that invites them to try calling their groups, reports WABetaInfo.

With larger stickers, users can more effectively draw the attention of other chat participants. Large stickers are currently available to some beta testers that install the latest WhatsApp beta for Windows update released on the Microsoft Store, the report said.

 Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is rolling out a new calling button along with a context menu on iOS beta. If the new feature is enabled on the users' application, they will see a different calling icon, reports WABetaInfo.

As per WABetaInfo, the WhatsApp beta for the Android 2.23.11.19 version will let certain beta testers check out the screen-sharing feature.

The company may also provide users with the ability to contact others by entering a username within the app without knowing their phone numbers.

WhatsApp is working to develop in-app sticker maker tool. Wabetainfo shares the screenshot. The feature is in development stage and doesn't have a launch timeline.

The report said that the features also showcase the company`s commitment to ensuring that users have a large set of features to explore and use and making it easier for users to understand and manage channels.

According to WABetaInfo, this feature will allow users to easily decline an incoming call and send a message to the caller at the same time.
