Highlights WhatsApp is working on a new blocking shortcut feature that will allow users to easily block unwanted accounts.

WhatsApp New Android Features like New Camera Mode, Chat Transfer, and Others WhatsApp is coming up with new features in 2023, while it also plans to come out with a block contact shortcut through which users will be able to record videos and click images within the application itself and they might very well come to WhatsApp’s Android version that improves its usability. Both of the features have come up in different iterations in WhatsApp’s Beta version as they’re currently in testing phase but might soon come out in stable versions in the coming months. WhatsApp has also introduced proxy support on both Android and iOS smartphones but it is the new features like Block Shortcut, Chat Transfer, and New Camera Mode, people are more interested in. Block Shortcut Regarding block contact shortcut, it is a feature where you can block a user right from the pop-up notification whenever you receive an unwanted message or any other person in the contact list, while it can be accessed within notifications itself. However, it will be visible only when you receive a message from an unknown or unwanted contact person and this limitation is for preventing accidental blocking of trustworthy contacts when replying to notifications. New Camera Mode Another interesting feature that WhatsApp is bringing up is the New Camera Mode through which users can switch back and forth between camera and video mode with a simple tap, but in the current version, users need to tap the shutter button and hold on to record the video, which can be tough if they’re quite long. With the New camera mode, capturing videos will be a piece of cake and many users will be delighted to know that the new feature will be included in a future app update so that WhatsApp users can record videos in a simpler manner as the shooting abilities of photos and videos can be segregated into different tabs Chat Transfer Chat Transfer is another new feature through which users can transfer their chat history to a new Android smartphone without the need to use Google Drive in a private and secure manner, although it is currently in testing phase and so only available for Beta users, but might soon be available in a future update. WhatsApp Features in 2022 Apart from the upcoming features mentioned above, WhatsApp had implemented some interesting features in 2022 as well like the ability to hide online status where users can stay online for long hours and decide who all can see/not see their WhatsApp status.
