The Android beta testers of WhatsApp are receiving an update that adds functionality for WhatsApp for tablets. A limited number of Android beta testers may now connect their current WhatsApp accounts from their phones to the tablet app. A secondary Android device could not previously access a WhatsApp account on an Android phone. According to reports, a new feature on WhatsApp for iOS would enable select beta testers to swiftly skip to messages depending on the date they were sent or received.
Users who have signed up for WhatsApp's beta programme will start to see an in-app ad announcing the functionality, which was discovered by feature tracker WABetaInfo. Have an Android tablet? A screenshot of the website's discussion area reveals a banner that reads "Have an Android tablet? Beta testers may now access WhatsApp for tablets. The ad will be viewable as part of the Android WhatsApp beta 2.22.25.8 update, which makes the well-known messaging programme tablet-compatible. The advertisement was also sent to Gadgets 360 employees who are enrolled in the beta programme.
The new tablet app may not yet include all the features, according to the feature tracker. The option to share a new status update, live locations, and broadcast lists, for example, may not yet be accessible when downloading WhatsApp on your tablet, according to the source.
An important feature of WhatsApp is that users may access their main account on a computer and through WhatsApp for Web. Now that Android tablets have the functionality, beta testers may view their messages on both their smartphone and tablet.
According to WABetaInfo, a new version that provides the option to search for messages by date is now available to iOS beta testers. Through the TestFlight beta programme, WhatsApp version 22.24.0.77 will make it simpler for users to go to certain dates in a conversation window. Users can look for a calendar icon inside the chat search option to see if the feature is available. The icon enables you to look for specific messages sent on the day using the "Jump to Date" feature.
The previous several weeks have seen a lot of activity at WhatsApp, with the release of numerous features on both iOS and Android. Recently, the app launched a "Message Yourself" function that allows users to text themselves in case they need to record crucial details, set reminders, or save files. An update that adds the capability to include captions for forwarded media was also given to iOS users.
