WhatsApp has apparently began testing a brand new feature for the tablets that run on the Android operating system. The company’s latest beta is testing a new Split View feature. So here are all the details.
According to a new WaBetaInfo report, the popular messaging platform has just released a new update for the Android beta app that is currently available on the Google Play Store. So this feature has now made it into the beta program. The version in question is the Android WhatsApp version 2.22.21.6. This build of the chatting application was released back in September 2022 and was compatible with tablets but wasn’t optimized for these larger screen devices.
The new feature will basically be major news for tablet users since it will seek to optimize the user interface entirely for these larger devices. Thanks to this feature, users will basically be able to view and use two different sections of the app at the same time side by side. In other words, one can fully utilize the entire display of their Android tablets. It adds functionality while also optimizing the overall experience.
Previously, users had to open a chat on the tablet version of WhatsApp, which would take up the entire screen and would have to hit return to see other chats. But now, the new redesign of the interface will let users seamlessly switch to other chats, since the chat list can be found on the other side. Unfortunately, it is still unclear when this feature will finally be rolling out for the stable build. So stick around for more updates.
