The latest beta version of WhatsApp, 2.23.12.13, is now available for Android users participating in the Google Play Beta Program. This update includes notable keyboard improvements and introduces a new feature called “Community Settings,” which is currently being tested by selected beta users.
The latest update of WhatsApp, version 2.23.12.13, brings exciting enhancements that are currently available only to select beta testers in the Google Play Beta Program. Notably, the keyboard has undergone a significant redesign, aimed at improving the overall user experience. Interface elements have been repositioned, allowing users to effortlessly scroll the keyboard upward to reveal a full-screen emoji list. This feature aims to make communication more engaging and enjoyable. To check if you have access to this update, simply open a chat and see if the new keyboard appears.
In addition to the keyboard improvements, WhatsApp has introduced a feature called “Community Settings,” currently accessible to a small number of beta testers. This feature enables community admins to regulate who can add groups to their community. By default, only admins have the authority to add groups, but this setting can be modified to allow community participants to add their own groups. This flexibility empowers community owners to create a tailored environment that suits their specific needs.
While the redesigned keyboard and Community Settings feature are currently limited to beta testers, WhatsApp plans to address any bugs and gradually release these updates to a wider user base over the next few weeks. The Meta-owned company remains committed to enhancing user experience, and these updates demonstrate their dedication. Users can look forward to a more streamlined and enjoyable messaging experience with the redesigned keyboard.
