The Meta-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp is working on a new Camera Mode to help users quickly record videos. Currently, users have to press and hold the shutter button to record a video. However, that could change soon as the feature found in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android makes it to a stable update. Recently, the app has been working on several new features, including a dedicated version for Android tablets, profile photos within groups and more. Let’s talk about the new Camera Mode that has been spotted by WhatsApp updates tracker WABetaInfo.
New camera mode brings separate buttons for shooting photo and video
As per a report published on November 16, 2022, WhatsApp is testing a new Camera Mode in beta for Android v2.22.24.21. Apparently, the new Camera Mode redesigns how the WhatsApp camera interface looks. For instance, it will bring new icons and a dedicated photo/video mode, like the default camera app on users’ smartphones. The report mentions that the new design will enable users to switch from photo to video mode easily, but wasn’t that the case with WhatsApp?
To take a picture, WhatsApp users have to tap the shutter button once, while to shoot a video, they need to tap and hold the shutter button. Although the dedicated photo and video modes eliminate the need to hold the shutter button, almost all popular apps, including Instagram and Snapchat, follow a similar approach of tap for picture and hold for video.
Nevertheless, the new Camera Mode is available to a limited number of beta testers. However, the report mentions that WhatsApp will release the feature to more users soon.
