WhatsApp has recently released a new camera shortcut for beta users on both Android and iOS, as it was replaced by the community tabs in the previous beta version. The Meta-owned direct messaging platform is now testing a new camera mode (with version 2.22.21.8) just for Android users, reports WABetaInfo. This new camera mode is expected to allow users to experiment with different modes like photo and video.
How will this new camera mode work
As per the report, WhatsApp is developing two more buttons for the camera mode on the messaging app. Currently, users have to click the shutter button to take a picture and press and hold the same button for videos. The way WhatsApp users click photos and videos right now will change completely if this feature gets out of beta.
