Popular app WhatsApp currently shows inline photos in the notifications tab. But with the arrival of Android Pie, images will now show up in a new format.
According to Android Police, the notification will expand and collapse to show the picture for WhatsApp messages. The rest of the text messages will still show above or below it respectively. This feature will also work for stickers but it will not work for GIFs or videos.
Additionally, WhatsApp may soon introduce other new features for users as well. The company is working on features such as a dark mode and a new ‘Swipe to Reply’ feature.
WhatsApp is currently working on a ‘Swipe to Reply’ feature for Android users. At the moment, this feature is already available on iOS. With this feature, one needs to simply swipe right the message they want to reply and the message will load in the reply context. WhatsApp has recently submitted a new update through the Google Play Beta Programme, which brings the beta version up to 2.18.282 respectively.
The long-awaited Dark Mode may finally arrive soon to WhatsApp and will be available to Android as well as iOS users. This feature will reduce the stress on the eyes while using the app in the dark or, at night. At the moment, there is no timeline provided as to when exactly, this feature will arrive on the app. WABetaInfo revealed on Twitter, “I’m happy to exclusively give the good news: WhatsApp is finally working on a Dark Mode! It’s a dream. There are many important secret references in recent updates! Be patient to see it out, hoping it will be FULL OLED friendly for Android phones, iPhone X and newer!”
