Meta’s chat app has an interesting new feature. WhatsApp is copying a popular feature that was previously available on platforms like Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram.
The phrase “typing…”, which was previously shown under the user name in the app, will now appear in a more meaningful place in conversations. The platform will show that the user in front of you has sent you a message in a chat bubble. The highly anticipated new feature is currently being tested. Here are the details…
WhatsApp brings the “typing…” warning to chat
According to the information that has emerged, WhatsAppp will start showing the “typing…” warning in a message bubble above the text box in the new interface. This will improve the user experience. In the past, users had to look at the top of the screen to see this phrase. However, this will change very soon.
Another advantage offered by the highly anticipated new feature is that the “typing” indicator will not replace the person’s last online time or the status displayed under the person’s name. This will provide a cleaner look.

The new indicator was recently released early to select WhatsApp Beta testers. However, now more people with the Android trial version of the application are seeing the new feature. This shows that the expected new feature is being made available to a wider audience.
Some users who use the application on iOS have also noticed this innovation. Although tests are ongoing via TestFlight, it is said that only a small number of iPhone users can currently access this feature.
It is not yet known when Meta will make the new feature available to everyone. This feature, which has been available for a long time in other applications such as Instagram, Messenger and Telegram, will probably be available to WhatsApp users worldwide very soon.
