This feature would allow admins to manage their groups in a better way by reviewing messages that are reported in the group chat. This feature would be available within the group settings screen. 

The group participants, with this feature, will be able to report any message that they find to break the rules or be offensive. 

The admins then have the option to “either delete the message for everyone or take appropriate action based on the nature of the reported content”. They might also remove the sender from the group.

The group environment feels safe and respectful with this feature and the admins can keep an eye on the group even when they are not active. 

“The messages that need a review will be listed in a new section found in the group info screen, and anyone in the chat can easily send a message for review to the administrator by just opening the message options,” said the WhatsApp watcher. 

Those who install the latest WhatsApp beta for Android updates will be able to use it.

WhatsApp is implementing a new upgrade to refine the Updates tab interface, hence boosting accessibility for status and channel updates.

WABetaInfo reports that the upgrade introduces expedited shortcuts that streamline the updating of statuses and channels. Users can now select and upload photos and videos directly from the interface, reducing the steps involved in choosing media from the gallery.

The Meta-owned messaging application has also revamped the button for generating text-based status updates and introduced a feature for recording and sharing voice status updates. This offers customers a more expedient method to disseminate text and speech updates without depending on the floating action button.

The revisions correspond with recent modifications to other tabs, ensuring a modernised interface that improves navigation and update creation. WhatsApp is modifying the floating action button to facilitate content sharing within channels.

When selecting the floating action button, users will see several options, including creating status updates, starting new channels, or sharing photos, videos, voice, and text in existing channels. This revamp integrates all content-generating options into a singular section.

The new shortcuts are anticipated to be accessible to a broader user base in the forthcoming weeks. Beta testers can currently access them in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android, version 2.24.26.13, available on the Google Play Store.
