WhatsApp, owned by Meta, has announced a new text editor experience for its users. According to WaBetaInfo, the app-tracking website, the new feature has been released to some beta testers and will be rolled out to more users in a future update.
Through the revamped text editor, users can now edit images, videos, and GIFs with the help of new tools and fonts. The new feature is also being developed for the iOS version of the app.
To access this feature, users should open the text editor to see if it is available in their accounts. If the new update is available, users will be able to use several features. Even though it was possible to change the font of a text before, users can now quickly switch between different fonts by tapping one of the font options shown above the keyboard.
Through this feature, users have more control over how to format text within images, videos, and GIFs, as they can align the text to the left, centre, or right. “Users can change the text background colour, which makes it easier for users to differentiate important text from the rest,” said WaBetaInfo.
The new fonts that have been released to beta testers include Calistoga, Courier Prime, Damion, Exo 2, and Morning Breeze. These new features aim to enhance the user experience and provide more options for users to personalize their messages.
