WhatsApp to soon let users share up to 100 media on Android beta

Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out a new feature that will allow users to share up to 100 media within the chats, on Android beta.

With the new feature, beta users can now select up to 100 media in the media picker within the application, which was earlier limited to only 30, reports WABetaInfo.

This feature is useful as users will finally be able to share entire albums, making it easier to share memories and moments.

Moreover, it will help users to avoid selecting the same photo or video more than once when they have to send a lot of media files.

The ability to share up to 100 media within the chats is available for some beta testers and is expected to roll out to more people over the coming days, the report said.

Last week, it was reported that the messaging platform was rolling out longer group subjects and descriptions on Android beta.

iOS beta users can now choose a longer group description, up to 2048 characters, as the previous limit was 512 characters. Longer group descriptions will help group admins to save additional information for describing their groups.

Moreover, the characters of the group subject have been increased to 100 to provide admins more freedom when naming their groups. The ability to choose a longer group subject and description is available for all users after installing the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS update from the TestFlight app.

In other news, WhatsApp is working on a couple of more features for its iOS and Android users. Soon, users might be able to pin messages in individual chats and group chats. Additionally, users might soon be able to create their own WhatsApp calling shortcuts that they can place on the homescreen to save up time while placing calls.
