This would be the icons of WhatsApp video calls
Little by little, more issues are being confirmed around WhatsApp video calls, an increasingly expected function to complete the options of what today is the most widely used application in the world. And it is that, at the moment WhatsApp has only confirmed the existence of this feature indirectly, through its translation service. Now, a leak shows both Android and iOS how this feature will be integrated into chat screens.
This is two screenshots of both platforms showing the appearance of the chat screen with the new function already integrated Apparently, these would be versions alpha, without our being able to confirm their origin , so they should be taken as leaks or little more than rumors However, they would show a concordant aspect between Android and iOSwhen including the option to start a video call within an individual chat.
To do this, WhatsApp would just add a new icon to the top of that chat. As with free internet calls, video calls would count in this space with a new iconThus, the user could launch the call by pressing this button, without having to access any other menu or display other options. And it is that WhatsApp would be willing to give visibility to this feature from its arrival, competing against other tools that already had it.
However, the really interesting thing about this leak would be the advancedness of the feature, which would have already been received by some users, if we attend to the leaked screenshots. At least those who are among the alpha testers, a restricted and pre-beta testing version, where not all users can access to see what's new. With this, everything would point to the possibility of enjoying this feature, presumably, in a few weeks. Or, at least, more information about how it works.
We will have to wait a little longer to confirm this information, without WhatsApp for the moment having presented this long-awaited feature in society. And it is that the video calls have already begun to generate media attention and from users So much so that there is even who has taken advantage of the pull to launch a scam, capturing users who crave this feature and who have ended up with their contact details circulating by Internet and subscribed to a high-rate Premium SMS messaging service.
That is why we must take this information with a grain of s alt until the possibility of official confirmation. However, both the aesthetics of the icons and their location on the screen suggest that the leaked images could be real
In the meantime, existing users have to be content with limited new features for version beta of the application. Issues such as show the preview of the covers of PDF documents sent through chats, or the possibility of adjust backgrounds Selected screen sizes Elements that soon will also reach other users.
