WhatsApp Working On Android Keyboard With Emoji Categorization
According to reports, WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is developing a new keyboard for Android that features a category bar dedicated to emojis.
With this feature, tabs that provide easy access to other keyboard functions (including GIF and sticker selection) are moved up, according to WABetaInfo.
There are also plans for a chat bar, including moving the attachment sharing buttons and the emoji keyboard button to match the style of WhatsApp Desktop and WhatsApp for iOS.
A redesigned keyboard is currently under development and will be released in an upcoming update to the app, according to the report.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is now rolling out a Companion Mode feature for iPhone users that will allow them to link an existing account to another iOS device.
This feature allows users to connect up to four devices simultaneously, which means they can connect more than two mobile phones to their WhatsApp accounts.
Users can link their existing WhatsApp account to their secondary iPhone by scanning a QR code.
Earlier, the company introduced the Companion Mode feature only for Android users.
