WhatsApp released a new beta update for Android users. The version 2.25.19.13 brings new features to text status updates.
The update lets users add stickers, emojis, and music directly to text status posts. Previously, users needed a photo or video background to use these features.
Text status updates use solid colored backgrounds instead of photos or videos. Users can now access drawing tools, emoji pickers, sticker panels, and music sharing options right from the text status screen.
The new feature makes text status updates more interactive. Users can draw with brush tools, add their favorite music, and place emojis over colored backgrounds. This gives users more creative freedom without needing photos or videos.
For example, users can draw a heart with the brush tool, add a music sticker of their favorite song, and include emojis that match their mood. All of this works over a simple colored background.
The update combines all multimedia tools into one easy interface. Users no longer need to find suitable photos or shoot videos just to share expressive content.
WhatsApp is rolling out this feature gradually. Some beta testers already have access to it. More users will get the feature in the coming weeks.
The company continues to improve status updates with new creative tools. Earlier updates included AI-powered chat wallpapers and improved music sharing features.
Users can join the WhatsApp beta program through the Google Play Store to test new features early.
