The Photo Editing feature on WhatsApp is getting better, there’s a new type of pencil

Telset.id, Jakarta – WhatsApp is currently testing ways to make it easier for users to edit photos and videos in the app before sending them. WhatsApp adds several choices of drawing tools or pencils to the WA photo and video editing feature.

For your information, WhatsApp only provides one image tool to WA users through photo and video editing features. Only color choices are provided by WhatsApp, and this is considered lacking by users.

WhatsApp is aware of this deficiency. The application also carried out trials by adding several types of pencils. As usual, this trial was first noticed by the site WABetaInfo.

WhatsApp Voice Notes Can Be Heard Outside Chat

Before testing a new type of pencil in the photo and video editing feature, WhatsApp also developed a feature that allows users to open VN or voice notes outside the chat column. Still from WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is testing a feature that allows users to still hear VN even though they have left the chat.
