With the upcoming updates, WhatsApp’s user experience will be further enriched with enhanced search functionality.
Popular messaging application WhatsApp frequently introduces new design and functionality features. Among these continuous changes, channels introduced in recent updates have garnered attention. To further facilitate users as status updates and channels’ pages began to fill up, WhatsApp decided to add a helpful feature.
Now, it will be possible to search in status updates and channels. A new design change added to WhatsApp’s beta version for Android will make it easier for users to quickly find their favorite content creators and status updates. According to reports, a new search function will be introduced with a traditional magnifying glass icon at the top right corner of the page. This specific user interface will enable quick searches in the status tab, allowing you to easily find a person’s latest status update or your favorite content creator.
Merging of status updates and channels in the status updates tab is significant as it reduces users’ ability to find their favorite contacts or creators. This issue has been resolved with the WhatsApp beta version 2.23.20.16 for Android.
Innovations in WhatsApp are not limited to design and user experience alone; user security is also a priority. In recent weeks, it was revealed that developers are working on passwords, and Google Password Manager will be the default password manager.
Additionally, an extra step in privacy was taken in May with the Chat Lock feature. This feature hides sensitive chats, placing them in a private section called Locked Chats and requiring biometric authentication for access. WhatsApp is rapidly moving towards offering users a more comprehensive experience both in terms of content and security.
