However, we should mention that even now, the app shows the profile picture of the person to whom the image is being sent. This makes the new feature slightly redundant. But then, we are there will be those who will find the clear mention of the contact name to be helpful. The feature will definitely reduce the instances of sharing an image with the wrong contact on the app. The report, which first surfaced on WABetaInfo, the new feature is being rolled out to WhatsApp beta for Android. So, if you own an Android smartphone and have enrolled for WhatsApp’s beta programme, then you can go and update your app to version number 2.19.173 or later to try out the new feature. It is not available on any update that was rolled out prior to the version number that has been mentioned. The feature is available for Individual as well as Group chats. It is also speculated to come to the stable version of WhatsApp for Android soon. However, as of now, there is no word on when the feature will come to iOS, or whether it will make it to iPhones at all.
In a recent update, the instant messaging app expanded its sticker options by adding an Opi sticker pack designed by Colombian illustrator Oscar Ospina.
