WhatsApp tests new icons for its menus on Android
The WhatsApp team does not sit idly by and, despite the fact that their next big step is yet to come (calls telephone calls via the Internet), continue to implement and improving this messaging application with other details and features, in addition to safeguarding security of the conversations That is why it has launched a new update of its application for the Android platform where, in tuexpertoAPPS, we have been able to verify some of the novelties that they are groping to introduce.
Thus, after updating the application to version 2.11.465, we have noticed some temporary changes regarding the design and interface of the application for Android Small details that, surprisingly, have disappeared intermittently and that you could well assume that these are tests by WhatsApp In the absence of an official changelog for the app, here's what we found:
First of all, different icons have been introduced for the contextual menus of the application. In this way, when displaying the options after clicking the three dots icon, the different sections displayed small icons to make them more recognizable at a glance Issues as aMegaphone to create a new broadcast or a rotary control to access menu settingsDetails that also extended to existing options within a chat screen: call, files, search, background and the other options had a small icon next to them .
And we speak in the past because, after the update, without prior notice and without making any adjustments or changes, these images have disappeared again A control that WhatsApp could carry out through its servers and that perhaps only be a taste of what is to come. Of course, it is surprising that they test these issues in an official version of their application and not in the trial version available through their website for precisely these issues. Something that already happened with the controversial double blue check and that could give clues as to what it will be like soon WhatsApp But there is more.
Along with this visual novelty there is also another notable change in this update. This is the description under the option activate or deactivate the reading confirmation or the famous double blue check And, after the last update in which this option appeared, the text indicating that by deactivating this acknowledgment the user will not be able to see the brand of other users, appeared in English It is now located in a perfectSpanish
Finally, another detail introduced in this update is the possibility to forward a photo or video from one conversation to another without dragging its description with it A function introduced a couple of versions ago with which to be able to include a description of the contentand that it seemed to be stuck to it even though it was forwarded in the same application.Now, when you mark it and select another destination conversation, only the photo or video is sent, and not the text
In short, small details that can go unnoticed by the most clueless users. Issues that can already be enjoyed by downloading the latest version available for free for the platform Android through Google Play
