The information is from the WABetaInfo portal, which specializes in WhatsApp spoilers. And once again the changes seem to be inspired by the main competitor: Telegram.
Messages that forward links have been given a different look. Message bubbles are bigger and carry images more clearly.
The novelty is still part of development, but the WABetaInfo website managed to enable it on iOS. However, the update is also available for Android. Remembering that only beta versions contain the tool.
It's the beta versions of WhatsApp that work as a test and are released to some users. The goal is to make the updates available to be checked. If there are no defects or bugs, the news ends up being distributed to everyone.
According to the information, the novelty does not result in very significant changes to the app. It makes it easy to view websites and share links in private or group conversations.
Link view change
Sites now feature a small image on top of links when shared. The same already happens for video links (both TikTok and Instagram).
However, for companies, it can be one more tool to strengthen the brand. Since the image can be linked to the logo or some reference design.
On first impressions, not all sites have full-size representation. In these cases, a smaller logo fills the space intended for the link image.
Like the other recent updates of the beta version, this one does not have a date to be implemented. However, it is part of an aesthetic remodeling work on WhatsApp.
The size of some images in groups and profiles is undergoing an overhaul. So, too, several other functions have been updated by the messenger. The way now is to wait and see what becomes official and what falls into disuse.
