Mon 21 August 2023:
WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is reportedly developing new text formatting features for chatting, including syntax for blocking code snippets, quoting specific text, and creating text lists.
According to WABetaInfo, the “Code Block” feature is expected to make sharing and viewing lines of code on the platform much more convenient and readable.
It will be beneficial to software engineers, programmers, and anyone who shares code snippets with others.
The platform intends to use this tool to address the issue of code snippets being shown in a confusing manner.
The “Quote” feature is expected to help users refer back to particular messages in a chat. It will be different from the existing quote message feature, as the new tool will allow users to highlight a specific section of text.
Last week, it was reported that the messaging platform had started to roll out a caption message edit feature on Android and iOS.
With this feature, users can edit captions for videos, GIFs and documents, within 15 minutes of sending the message.
However, users can edit a message with a caption only from the device from which it was originally sent.
Also, Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg had announced that WhatsApp users can now send photos in HD quality.
HD Photos feature is rolling out globally, with HD Videos also coming soon, the company had said.
