Meta-owned WhatsApp is working to introduce the much-useful screen-sharing feature that will be available during video calls. It will be available for Android users soon. The world's most popular messaging app is testing the update through Google Play Beta program version 2.23.11.19. According to WhatsApp updates tracker WABetaInfo, the Meta-owned platform is going to release a screen-sharing feature, along with a new placement for tabs within the bottom navigation bar and it is currently available for some beta testers.
"WhatsApp keeps working on improving voice and video calls in the Android app. After introducing changes regarding the color for missed calls in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.10.4 update, WhatsApp is now rolling out a new feature that allows users to easily share their screen during a video call. It seems this feature is available to some beta testers that install the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.11.19 update from the Google Play Store," WABetaInfo recently wrote on its page.
WABetaInfo has shared a screenshot in which it is being shown how a user will be prompted to share their screen if they tap the "new icon" located in the call control view.
The world's most popular messaging platform may also soon replace phone numbers with quirky usernames. The Meta-owned company is rolling out a new update through the Google Play Beta Program, to version 2.23.11.15 which is under development, according to WABetaInfo. In simpler terms, Meta-owned WhatsApp is working on a username feature that will allow users to choose unique usernames for their accounts. The feature is currently in development and not yet available.
As per WABetaInfo's shared screenshot, WhatsApp is working on introducing a username feature within the app settings: in particular, a section dedicated to this feature will be available within WhatsApp Settings > Profile.
With the ability to choose a username, WhatsApp users will have the opportunity to add another layer of privacy to their accounts.
