AUTOMATIC ALBUMS
WhatsApp keeps working on improving the UWP version of the app. After introducing the ability to share view once photos and record voice notes, WhatsApp is now rolling out to beta users the ability to group consecutive photos and videos!
As you can see in this screenshot, WhatsApp is now bringing the same feature that is already available on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS: automatic albums. Thanks to automatic albums, multiple consecutive images or videos shared in a chat are now automatically grouped into a single album. When users receive more than 3 photos or videos consecutively, they can now tap the automatic album to view its full collection.
This feature is available to users that install the latest version of the Windows beta app from the Microsoft Store.
