WhatsApp Testing Camera Zoom Control Feature Sticker Creation Shortcuts for Users

WhatsApp is rolling out two new features for beta testers on iOS that will bring new features to the messaging platform. The first feature makes it much easier to zoom using the in-app camera on WhatsApp. The second feature allows users to quickly create new stickers from their camera roll or use Meta AI to create stickers through a new shortcut. Both these features are expected to be available to all users on iOS and Android smartphones. Here we are telling you about the upcoming features of WhatsApp.

Features tracker WABetaInfo has spotted a new zoom control feature on WhatsApp beta for iOS 24.9.10.75. saw Users who have signed up to get the beta version of WhatsApp for iOS via TestFlight can now update to the new version to get access to a new camera zoom control button that will let them switch between multiple zoom options while clicking photos or recording videos on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp currently lets users pinch in and out on the viewfinder using the in-app camera, or swipe up while pressing the capture button. Both of these options aren’t as simple as using the zoom button, which is expected to be available to all users in the future.

Users who have installed this version will see the Create and Use AI shortcut when the sticker selection panel opens on WhatsApp.

Other features recently spotted testing on WhatsApp’s beta version include a new ‘Recently Online’ list. As the name suggests, it lists contacts who were active on the app some time ago.
