Another day another WhatsApp update is
available for Android devices - and once
again via the Google Play beta channel. The
update overhauls one of the features of the
application that has stayed untouched for
quite a while - the camera.
The inbuilt camera feature in the WhatsApp
Messenger has now been completely
overhauled with new user interface and
icons. The big blue-coloured shutter button
has now been replaced by a similar looking
white colour button. New icons for the flash
and camera switch buttons are also visible.
While the older app version showed a
translucent box at the top of the screen
saying, "Send to (contact name)" while
shooting an image or a video, the new
version now gets rid of it completely, as
spotted by Android Police first. There is also
a small tip at the top explaining user how to
shoot a video. To record a video, all users
need to do is to hold the white coloured
shutter button, which then turns red as the
video recording starts. To stop, they can
simply lift their fingers.
