WhatsApp is once again preparing for a quite comprehensive update
WhatsApp, one of the social media platforms with the most users in the world, is set to receive another new and comprehensive update soon.
WhatsApp, a leading messaging platform, is ushering in compelling features via its newest beta version, 2.23.12.13, exclusive to Android users who are part of the Google Play Beta Program. The update heralds significant keyboard alterations and unveils a novel feature titled "Community Settings" for a select group of beta testers.

Moreover, an exclusive collection of beta testers will be the initial group to experience the reconfiguration of the media sharing and emoji keyboard buttons. Although this shift is currently confined to a select user set, it may gradually permeate a broader audience in the future. Apart from the keyboard amendments, WhatsApp has also debuted the "Community Settings" feature. Presently accessible to a very limited number of beta testers, this feature equips community administrators with the ability to control who can append groups to their community. By default, this authority resides solely with community admins. However, they can alter this setting to permit community members to add their own groups, thus affording community owners the ability to craft an environment tailored to their specific needs.
The reworked keyboard and Community Settings feature are presently accessible to a particular group of beta testers who have downloaded the latest WhatsApp beta for Android update via the Google Play Store. Nonetheless, WhatsApp intends to steadily rectify any potential bugs and subsequently disseminate these updates to a wider user base in the ensuing weeks. Owned by Meta, the company persists in prioritizing user experience enhancement, a commitment evident in these latest updates. Users can anticipate a more fluid and enjoyable messaging experience courtesy of the overhauled keyboard.
