NEW CONTEXT MENU
After releasing an update that brings the ability to pause and resume voice notes thanks to a new interface, WhatsApp is now pushing another update for Windows beta on the Microsoft Store that offers a redesigned context menu to beta testers:
As you can see in this screenshot, the redesigned context menu shows up when you select a text in the chat text field. It also offers quick redesigned shortcuts to format the text such as bold, italic, and strikethrough. But it looks like there is a regression when using the new context menu: it is no longer possible to fix typos because the suggestions don't show up in the redesigned context menu. We hope to see this implemented in the context menu in the next few beta updates.
The new context menu is available to users that install the latest WhatsApp update from the Microsoft Store.
