WhatsApp users can look forward to a helpful new feature

WhatsApp released a new beta update for Android users and added a new shortcut with build number 2.22.6.3. The latest information suggests that the new shortcut is designed to search for news.

According to WABetaInfo WhatsApp is working on a new widget that will allow users to manage shortcuts for message search. The developers are also working to bring the same contact information redesign in the WhatsApp beta to iOS, including the search shortcuts.

WhatsApp with a design change: This feature will look different in the future

WhatsApp: New search shortcut is tested in the beta version

–

The new WhatsApp beta update for Android prioritizes adding the search shortcut to the redesigned contact information page. In addition, some users can also see the same shortcut in the group info.

Unfortunately, the feature doesn’t seem to work that well yet as it’s still under development. It’s likely that this feature is correctly enabled in your WhatsApp account, but it just doesn’t seem to appear in some situations. Users will have to be patient until the widget can be used to its full extent.
