Are you one of those who make memes of everything that is sent to you by WhatsApp? Well, you're almost in luck. WhatsApp knows that the photos that are sent in chats often require retouching, editing, to send them again with some clarification or addition. A process that until now is quite tedious, but that will stop being so thanks to the new function that they are already developing.
This is the Quick Edit or Quick Edition, which according to the usual account of WABetaInfo leaks is in full development.Or rather, finalizing its functionalities. And it is that thanks to this account we can know what the WhatsApp engineering team is working on, and the possible new functions that are hidden in the application code. In this case we have already been able to see an animation of how Quick Edit works. That's how advanced it is already.
Quick Edition on WhatsApp
The function is integrated directly into the context menu of any photo or image shared in a WhatsApp chat. Thus, as seen in the information shared by WABetaInfo, all you have to do is click on a chat image to see it large and unlock the three points in the upper right corner. Or what is the same, enter the photo to see the menu in the case of Android. On iPhone, the function appears as Edit as soon as you click on the image to enlarge it.
If we click on edit, both on Android and iPhone, we will have the usual WhatsApp tools to retouch a photo before send it to the chat: the option to draw or write freehand, with the color bar always available, the tool to add printed text and even the collection of emoticons to plant them on the image.
Next to it is the submit button, which is the real key to this feature. Thus, after editing, all that remains is to press the green button to resend this edited image. Without more management than having done the retouching.
With this, the chat shows the original image and also the new edited image. With a process that shortens what has to be done so far to carry out all this edition. It is undoubtedly a function that the most creative users of WhatsApp will know how to enjoy.
Now, for the moment no one knows when it will arrive And it is in development, trying to clean up bugs or malfunctions, and ensuring that every feature within this quick edit function does what it should and how it should. So it only remains to wait. Although what is shown by WABetaInfo makes us think that the function is quite advanced nowadays.
How to make edits now
When we say that the process to make memes of what is sent to us by WhatsApp is tedious, it is because we need to carry out a few more steps than displaying a menu. Specifically, you have to receive the image and then open the sharing menu and select the Gallery section Here, among all the other photos received or sent, you have to search for the image in question and select it to send.
Now it's time to edit with all the usual tools. Traces, text or photos, etc. Then we send and that's it.
The process is similar to the Quick Edit feature WhatsApp is working on, but a bit more cumbersome as it forces you to move through various menus , tapping too hard on the screen or having to search for the photo in the gallery. So everything indicates that the quick edition will be an addition well received by users. Although we will have to wait.
