Recently, it was reported that WhatsApp may soon roll out a new GIF feature for Android users. The Meta-owned platform is soon expected to release a GIF auto-play feature on Android. Now, a new report has surfaced online revealing that the messaging app is also bringing the same feature to iOS. This new feature will play GIFs automatically and users will no longer have to tap on them.
According to a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is releasing a feature to automatically play GIFs. Before the update, WhatsApp users had to tap the GIF to start its animation. However, with the installation of the latest WhatsApp beta update for Android, GIFs will now automatically play as users scroll through the conversation. WABetaInfo reveals that the feature is now also available for some iOS beta testers.
The website has also shared a video of this feature. In the recorded video, the GIF is automatically playing when the user has opened a conversation. The report also adds that after the initial playback, you will have to tap on the GIF to play it again. The feature is presently available for beta testers and is soon expected to roll out for all users.
WhatsApp’s new accessibility feature
WhatsApp has introduced a new accessibility feature for Android users called “Reply with Message.” According to reports, this feature is currently being rolled out to a select group of beta testers on Android and has been integrated into call notifications. This feature allows users to send a message while declining a call.
As explained by WABetaInfo, this feature enables users to decline a call and simultaneously send a text message to the caller. With the addition of this feature, users will no longer need to reject a call and then send a separate message to explain why they couldn’t answer. Upon receiving an incoming call notification, users will now see a new “reply” button alongside the existing “decline” and “answer” buttons.
