NEW MEDIA PICKER
WhatsApp is always working on new features, and this time the new feature under development improves the way to send multiple media after taking a photo. In particular, we are talking about a redesigned media picker:
As you can see in this screenshot, WhatsApp will show up two new tabs that make it easier to quickly find the media you want to share to your contacts or status updates:
- Recents: all recent photos, videos, GIFs from your gallery are shown in this tab.
- Gallery: all other photos, videos, GIFs in your gallery are available in this tab.
The redesigned media picker won't be available when you want to normally share media from a chat, but it will be available when you take a photo from the in-app camera. The redesigned media picker also allows picking multiple images and videos. Like other features previously announced on this website, it's under development and it will be available in a future update.
