LARGER MEDIA PREVIEW
After enabling the In-App Chat Support for specific beta testers, WhatsApp is now releasing a new feature for Android.
Today, WhatsApp has officially enabled the support for Larger Media Preview on WhatsApp Messenger beta for iOS 2.21.70.11, and my testers have reported that the team has released the same feature for Android with this update.
Every time you send or receive a new media, the chat bubble will now show a large preview. Previously chat bubbles had a standard format.
