WhatsApp is working on a new gallery shortcut feature within the chat bar!
As per WEBetaInfo, the new shortcut replaces the previous method for opening the camera.
This new shortcut makes it simpler for users to easily open the photo and video gallery without going through multiple steps.
It is pertinent to note that users can still tap and hold the new gallery button to record instant video messages.
This feature is available to limited beta testers who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta version for Android 2.24.23.11.
WhatsApp is currently experimenting with this feature and if there is no good response, this feature may not be introduced.
