As we near the end of 2023, it’s been a very eventful time for WhatsApp, especially when it comes to adding new features to the platform and testing new features. WhatsApp introduced Channels to its users in mid-2023, sprinkling new features for Channels along the way. WhatsApp’s new beta update introduces a redesigned UI for channels to make channel updates more visible on WhatsApp.
Especially with new updates, WA beta information Found in the latest WhatsApp beta v2.24.1.6 For Android, it’s related to sharing channel messages as status updates. The new UI for WhatsApp channel messages includes buttons and new layouts to make your messages stand out and direct users to information sources.
New WhatsApp channel UI is similar to Instagram posts shared via Stories
This new UI for WhatsApp channels may not be a new interface for Instagram users. Because Instagrammers know that sharing posts on Stories has the same UI. However, this change can be called Meta’s way of bridging the gap between all services and streamlining the services, especially her UI.
This is a nice subtle change since WhatsApp channels are a feature meant to share information with millions of people. The new UI helps add more context to the content being shared. WhatsApp already has a system in place to report status and channel updates that are harmful or violate our policies.
According to the report, apart from the UI changes for WhatsApp channels, the new beta update also fixes UI bugs. The bug, which caused a large blue block to appear in the bottom half of the screen, was present near attachments and was hiding some of the wallpaper in conversations and chats. Thankfully, this bug has been fixed in the latest WhatsApp beta update.
