WhatsApp is planning to add a new media edit shortcut that will let users do basic editing and doodling on a photo they received in a WhatsApp chat quickly.While photos can be edited in WhatsApp even now, the upcoming feature will be useful for quick edits whenever you get a photo in a chat and what to forward it with some basic editing or by writing some text on it. The feature is already part of the beta variant of WhatsApp on both Android and iOS and should roll out in the coming weeks. The feature was spotted by WABetaInfo.
WhatsApp beta variants and the features they bring, notes: "Has it ever occurred to you that you have received a photo, you copied or saved it, then you sent it again with some modifications? So, this is the feature for you! The Quick Edit Media Shortcut helps the user to save time and storage. It quickly allows to edit media you sent and receive in your chats and groups."
The website that reported on this feature also explained how it will work. The functionality apparently is the same in both Android and iOS. But it will be accessed differently.
-In Android, once you get a photo, you will be able to press on it to open it directly from the chat. Then you will have to click on the "three dots" menu option on top right of the screen. In this drop-down menu, there is the edit button. Press it, and edit the picture or write some text on it, or doodle on it. Save it and reshare or forward the image. All from the WhatsApp chat window.
