After rolling out new features on the platform, WhatsApp is reportedly now working on launching new features that will allow users to share their screening during video calls on the platform.

The Meta-owned instant-messaging platform is planning on rolling out a new feature called ‘Screen-Sharing’ which will add a new placement for tabs within the button navigation bar. The feature at present will be rolled out to beta testers on Android before it arrives for everyone including iOS.

As per a report in WABetaInfo, this upcoming feature from WhatsApp may not be available on old versions of Android and would also not work in large group calls. The report further suggests that the recipient may be unable to get the content of the users’ screen in case they are using an outdated version of the application.

The feature, which WhatsApp beta has started testing, is already quite popular on platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and others. The report further said that the ‘Screen-Sharing’ feature is only enabled if users give their consent to share the content of their screen.

After installing the new version of the WhatsApp beta, some users may even notice a few minor changes regarding the new bottom navigation bar on the application. For instance, a few tabs within the bottom navigation bar have been arranged in a certain order.

According to the report, some WhatsApp users may now see the following tabs in the bottom navigation bar – Chats, Calls, Communities, and Status.Meanwhile, WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature called ‘Usernames’, which will allow users to choose unique usernames for their accounts instead of connecting with people on the platform using their contact number.With this feature, which we have already spotted on Telegram, WhatsApp users will be able to opt for a unique username, instead of depending solely on phone numbers to identify contacts.
