Messenger Rooms Feature which was introduced last year and was one of the common features is now removed from WhatsApp as per a report of WABetaInfo, the changes will be visible first in the messaging app’s beta versions, after which WhatsApp may disable the icon for non-beta users. 

WhatsApp beta for iOS 2.21.190.11 and WhatsApp beta for android 2.21.19.15 are the two beta versions for which WhatsApp has restricted the sharing functionality for iOS and Android, respectively. 

This messenger room feature was launched in May 2020 with the goal of allowing users to create a group of 50 people on Facebook Messenger.

Messenger Rooms Feature of WhatsApp is likely to be replaced by another shortcut, according to WABetaInfo. It is quite apparent that the company was investigating the use of the Messenger Rooms Feature of WhatsApp and noticed that it wasn’t being used by many users, there was certainly no need for a different video calling tool since WhatsApp already had one, so bringing a video call shortcut to Facebook made almost no logic and was designed to not attract many users.

Messenger Rooms Feature wont be there Anymore

Users will now be able to see shortcuts to documents, camera, gallery, audio, and contacts after the Messenger Rooms shortcut was removed from these WhatsApp chat menus. Users can use them to send data and information to their contacts by tapping on them.

WhatsApp has recently been working on a number of new features, including a group icon editor that allows users to rapidly set an emoji or sticker as a group icon when forming a temporary group and the ability to transfer chats from Android to iPhone in the current iOS beta version, also it has added a new feature When forming a group for a temporary event, such as a birthday party or an event, this functionality will come in handy.

Additionally, a message reporting feature will safeguard users against spam and abusive texts. WhatsApp has released beta versions 2.21.190.12 and 2.21.190.11 for iOS, which include the ability to report individual messages on the platform. The new feature, according to WABetaInfo, will allow users to forward simply the reported message to WhatsApp while simultaneously notifying the sender. This will differ from how a user now reports a contact. When a user complains to another user, the five most recent communications are transmitted to WhatsApp.

The new reporting function has been found in WhatsApp for iOS Beta versions 2.21.190.12 and 2.21.190.11 and also rolling out for WhatsApp for Android beta versions 2.21.20.1 and 2.21.19.15.

The new reporting function has been detected in WhatsApp for iOS beta versions 2.21.190.12 and 2.21.190.11, and still rolling out for WhatsApp Android beta versions 2.21.20.1 and 2.21.19.15, which claims to report specific messages instead of reporting the whole chat, WhatsApp presently asks you to report, block, or add an unknown contact or to your contacts if you receive a message from them. WABetaInfo, which is a Facebook company, a WhatsApp beta tracker, stated that WhatsApp for iOS beta versions 2.21.190.12 and 2.21.190.11 had the ability to report particular messages on the site. 

Reporting Working in Whatsapp Beta

Users on the beta version can see the new Report option when they tap or hold a message. This option will join the other existing options by clicking the three-dot menu on the top right corner of the screen. We will be able to report the message. The app is supposed to be able to send simply the reported message to WhatsApp and notify the sender of the complaint.

This will be an addition to WhatsApp’s existing report feature, which allows users to report persons and companies based on the whole conversation. WhatsApp is presently testing the new functionality on Android and iPhone smartphones with beta testers. Despite the fact that WhatsApp has had a function to report senders of abusive and spam messages for quite some time, abusive and spam communications are nevertheless frequent.

Recently, the new voice transcription functionality was developed by WhatsApp. Anyone may transcribe the content of an audio message through this latest Whatsapp function. The voice message transcription functionality is currently only available for the iPhone app build. WABetaInfo explains, as such texts are transcribed by Apple, that voice data is not to be transferred with Facebook.

WhatsApp has taken similar steps in the past to combat spam and abuse. However, the platform has yet to protect itself from becoming a gathering place for spammers and abusers all over the world. Hopefully, we will get to see further updates of android WhatsApp beta versions.
