- After installing another update of WhatsApp Desktop beta, we have also discovered the user interface of group polls in the chat bubble, still under development.
- WhatsApp is planning to let people view status updates right within the chats list in a future update. This is under development on WhatsApp Desktop beta but we do not exclude that WhatsApp is planning to bring the same feature on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS at a later date.
- WhatsApp is developing a feature that lets users react to status updates by using 8 quick reactions, available in a future update of WhatsApp Desktop beta. WhatsApp will probably develop the same feature on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS in the future.
