WhatsApp continues its development with the arrival of yet another beta. Among the novelties, there is a new text editor which is intended to be easier to use. The messaging app tends to look more and more like Instagram.
One of Meta’s instant messaging applications sees the arrival of features that were previously found on Instagram or even on Messenger. In the latest WhatsApp beta, it is the text editor on photos that is reviewed, especially from the point of view of the user experience. Changes that are still in development: it is expected that they will be available to everyone in a future update.
WhatsApp’s completely redesigned text editor
As usual, the specialized media WABetaInfo has listed what’s new in beta 2.23.3.4 of the WhatsApp application, available in the beta program of Google Play. It says WhatsApp has been working on improving drawing tools for many months. Last year, for example, we saw the arrival of different pencil sizes in the photo/video editor.
This time, the changes mainly concern the interface. You can quickly switch between fonts when writing text in the drawing editor. All available fonts are displayed, similar to what is found in Instagram’s editor. If several fonts were already available in WhatsApp, until then you had to click on a single button, which did not suggest all the possibilities offered.
The text editor goes further since you can align the text to the left, to the center, or to the right. What facilitate the placement of the text within the photos or videos that we send. Finally, this beta allows you to add a colored background behind the generated text, in order to make it stand out more on the photos.
