WhatsApp is testing a new interface for channel content sharing

The latest update in WhatsApp, currently in beta testing with version 2.24.1.6, introduces a revamped interface for sharing channel content. This feature, live for select Android beta users, promises a better experience by introducing a fresh layout based on tier status when sharing content through channels.

A portion of WhatsApp beta users on Android can currently explore this new interface by sharing a channel update with their status. The revamped layout aims to make it seamless for users to inform others about the source of shared content, presenting a more engaging and informative sharing experience. However, for iOS users eager to explore these updates, patience is advised, as the beta program is initially limited to Android users, with an anticipated public release in the coming days.

The revamped interface for WhatsApp channel content sharing is currently only available to some beta testers

For those aspiring to become WhatsApp beta users and access the latest features before the public release, joining the beta program is a straightforward process through the Google Play Store. By navigating to the WhatsApp page on the Play Store, scrolling down, and tapping the join button, users can register for the beta program. You will gain access to the new software after the registration process. However, it may take some time to complete. The WhatsApp beta will allow you to experience and test the beta updates firsthand.

WhatsApp experts at WABetaInfo have weighed in on the latest beta update, emphasizing that the refreshed interface in WhatsApp channels introduces an intuitive layout. According to them, this layout not only facilitates smoother interactions but also aligns with contemporary design trends. Drawing parallels, they note that the new interface bears a resemblance to the layout offered by Instagram when sharing posts as Instagram Stories. It provides users with a familiar and user-friendly experience. You can expect to get access to these changes soon in an upcoming update of the stable version.

Whatsapp introduced an audio screen-sharing feature a few days ago. This is also currently in the beta testing phase and will be available in the Android realm soon.
