Upcoming features on WhatsApp
Icon to send high-quality images
The drawing tool header on WhatsApp will soon get a new setting icon that will let users change the photo quality. Users will be able to send photographs in their original quality thanks to the new feature. Contrary to the existing setting, which causes WhatsApp to automatically reduce photo quality.
According to rumours, the feature is being worked on and could appear in upcoming upgrades of the instant messaging programme. Users will, however, notice a new icon in the photo settings once it is implemented, allowing them to change the shot's quality before sending it.
Longer group subjects and descriptions
WhatsApp has increased the character limit for group subjects and descriptions in its most recent Android beta release. 25 characters used to be the maximum allowed for a WhatsApp group subject. Users will soon be able to write up to 100 words, though. The platform will also boost the character limit from 512 to 2048, making it simpler to define the group's name and goal.
It should be noted that the feature is already accessible to Android beta testers and will expand to more users in upcoming versions.

In addition to backdrops and alignments, WhatsApp is reportedly working on new fonts for the new text editor. Users will be able to add text with various fonts and alter the text present in pictures, videos, and GIFs with this functionality.
Calistoga, Courier Prime, Damion, Exo 2, and Morning Breeze fonts are reportedly being added to WhatsApp's text editor.
