WhatsApp Betathe version of the popular messaging app that hides the news that will be implemented in the future or makes them preview for the beta testers, receives a new update a few hours after the previous one that has made available for some users the translation of the messages.
With the new update, the beta testers can preview another novelty: the development team has in fact equipped the channels of the section “Multimedia files and links” To allow users to scroll through the list of photos, videos, gifs and links shared by a channel, an operation already possible inside the chats (single and group).
WhatsApp: the “Multimedia Files and Link” section arrives in the channels
The single and group chat (single and group) enjoy a section that allows users to view only multimedia files (photos, videos, gifs), the documents and links shared in the entire conversation.
By making a tap on the name of the chat, in fact, there is the item “Average, links and documents” which allows access to all these contents, divided into the three cards “Average”, “DOC” And “Link” It is ordered chronologically (there is also a vertical sliding slider that allows you to jump to a certain month/year).
The development team of the popular messaging app has decided to enrich the channels (available in the tab “Updates” app), preparing a similar feature that is already available for a good number of beta testers with the Version 2.25.13.2 by WhatsApp Beta.
As you can observe from the following image, by making a tap on the name of a channel, we access the screen with the buttons to manage the registration, forward the channel to a contact/group, share the channel (even outside WhatsApp) or look for a message), the information on the channel and, immediately below, the new section Multimedia files and links.
By making a tap on this section, we will find the two cards inside “Average” (which contains all the photos, videos and gifs shared by the channel) e “Link” (which contains all the links shared by the channel). Also here is the vertical scrolling slider that we talked about just above. In short, the operation of this section is similar to the counterparty that we find in normal chats.
As anticipated just above, the section Multimedia files and links In the canals it is already available for a good number of beta testers with the latest version of WhatsApp Beta: the functionality seems ready for release, so it would not be surprised if the development team released it in a short time on the stable channel.
