The vast majority of current mobiles do not have a front LED flash And, despite the fact that selfies is the most popular format, its introduction seems not to be efficient for the design of the terminal or for the criteria of the manufacturers. To solve this problem, many photography applications have implemented a virtual front flash, taking advantage of the mobile screen itself to illuminate the scene as much as possible.Something that WhatsApp just introduced in its latest update.
Of course, for now this is a function that has landed in the beta or test version for Android That is, It is only available to those who have joined the betatesters or testers program to taste the latest news and its possible failures before they reach the general public. However, this function is fully functional and can now be easily tested.
All you have to do is search for WhatsApp in Google Play Store On the download screen, at the bottom, there is a section to enter the aforementioned beta or test program. After signing in with the Google user account and waiting about five minutes, the download page of WhatsAppis updated to be able to install the latest beta version.It is there that we find the new front flash function.
The beta version is exactly the same as the normal version of WhatsApp for Android The difference is that, after accessing the camera within a chat and selecting the front lens of the terminal, it is now possible to activate the flash The usual lightning bolt button allows you to use this feature. If checked, at the time of taking a selfie, the mobile screen shines brightest with a white hueSomething that gives an extra beam of light to the scene to achieve more illumination. The result can be glare when the surroundings are really dark, but it generally brings clarity to photos that would otherwise be dark.
Other useful features
But this beta or test version of WhatsApp does not only bring functionality. We have also already told you about the stickers and drawing tools that allow you to decorate a photo before sending it via chat. Emoticons, symbols, animals and strokes of all colors that give more depth to sending photos in WhatsApp
We also didn't forget about the possibility of zooming during video recording. Just go through the process and use the pinch gesture to zoom in and make it bigger.
Finally, this beta version also includes the ability to forward a message to multiple recipients on at once by dialing them with a long press Something that speeds up the process remarkably without using broadcasts for it. In addition, it is now possible to see a section of recent contacts where the latest chats in which you have participated are listed, being able to share in them the content that is going to be forward faster.
