WhatsApp is reportedly working on adding a few new features to its platform. The Facebook-owned social messaging app, is already working on a new hide muted status update and is also letting users to share their status to Facebook features. This feature is expected to be included in the app’s beta release for Android, which is not yet available for beta testers. The feature was reported for the first time back in May where a QR button was spotted that enabled users to add the QR codes of their contacts.
According to a tweet posted by WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo, “WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.19.189 has included the references for a QR Code shortcut. A screenshot purportedly showing a QR Code shortcut has also been provided.”
WABetaInfo reports, “The feature is one for the future, which as you already know could take a while considering how long it takes WhatsApp to officially make new changes available to users.”
WhatsApp conventionally uses QR Codes for authentication purpose while a user is signing in WhatsApp Web. WhatsApp Web can simply be accessed by tapping on the WhatsApp Web/Desktop option in the Settings section of the company’s iOS-based app, it can also be accessed by tapping on the WhatsApp Web option which in turn can be accessed by tapping on the three dots in the top right hand side of the company’s Android app.
While the details about the feature are still very limited at the moment, however, a screenshot was shared by a Twitter user who goes by the name Gustav Wiesner on the micro-blogging app indicating that the shortcut will be available above the Account option in the Settings menu of WhatsApp. There are no further details available on the feature beyond that.
