What exciting new feature is WhatsApp rolling out now?
Meta's instant messaging app is introducing a new feature which makes text more interactive for users
WhatsApp is set to enhance user experience with a new automatic text formatting tool which is currently available for beta testers through the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.23.9 update.
According to WABetaInfo, the new feature in Meta's instant messaging app aims to improve message clarity by automatically underlining links, helping users easily distinguish them from standard text.
The upcoming update, which is is available for download for beta testers on the Google Play Store, bolds group mentions to ensure key messages within chat bubbles don't go unnoticed by users.
Additionally, the update also introduces bold and underlined formatting for phone numbers, facilitating easier recognition and interaction with contact details shared in conversations.
With the new feature, the app is also adding both bold and underline formatting to phone numbers, allowing users to quickly recognise and interact with phone numbers shared in chats and groups.
The new feature makes text more interactive by underlining links and phone numbers, similar to how hyperlinks work on the web.
When users encounter underlined links and phone numbers, they can quickly recognize these elements as clickable, prompting them to engage with the content more readily.
The new automatic text formatting tool feature will be rolled out to even more people over the coming weeks.
