WhatsApp is making changes to its typing indicator feature, making it easier for users to see when someone else is typing a message. Currently, the typing indicator appears at the top of the screen next to the other person’s name, which can easily be missed while typing a message. However, WhatsApp is updating this feature by replacing the text with an icon and moving it to the bottom of the screen, just above the text box. This change will make it more visible and convenient for users to see when someone is typing a message.
According to a report by 9to5Google, the new typing indicator feature is currently only available on some Android devices running a WhatsApp beta version. It is expected to be rolled out to all compatible devices in the future, although the exact timeline for this rollout is not yet known.
The new placement of the typing indicator at the bottom of the screen aligns with the typical focus area of users during a chat, making it easier to notice when someone is typing a message. This update will enhance the overall user experience on WhatsApp and improve communication between users.
In conclusion, WhatsApp’s upcoming changes to the typing indicator feature will provide users with a more intuitive and user-friendly messaging experience. Keep an eye out for this update on your device, as it will soon be available to all users.
