WhatsApp has introduced updates in its Android beta version (2.24.26.10) to enhance the creation of Status and Channels, offering a more streamlined user experience. The update unifies the interfaces for creating Status updates and Channels while adding shortcuts for quick access.
As pointed by TuttoAndroid, One of the key changes is a new shortcut bar at the top of the Updates screen. This allows users to directly create image- or text-based Status updates, similar to Instagram and Facebook Stories, without having to switch modes manually. Users can choose media from their gallery or capture new photos and videos through the app. For text-based updates, customizable fonts and colors remain available to enhance the visual impact.
The update also introduces a unified interface for creating Status updates and Channels. By tapping the shortcut in the bottom-right corner of the screen, users can access options such as creating a new Status using text, voice, media uploads, or live captures. Additionally, the same media options can now be shared with existing Channels or used to create new ones.
As with any beta feature, these updates may take weeks to reach the public version of WhatsApp—Developers aim to resolve potential bugs and ensure stability before rolling out the features widely. User feedback plays a significant role in determining the final release; in some cases, planned updates have been discarded or revised based on users’ responses.
