A Major Interface Upgrade for WhatsApp for Tablets is Coming Shortly

 

Every now and then, WhatsApp updates its PC and mobile apps, and it's high time the tablet version received some attention. For WhatsApp on tablets, the messaging app is bringing a substantial visual improvement that should aid in multitasking.

WhatsApp for Android now has a dual-panel interface made especially for tablets in the most recent beta release. As usual, WABetaInfo is the source of the report.

Previously, switching between conversations required users to navigate back to the chat list on the tablet version, which showed the chat in full-screen mode.

But now that a recent update has been made, the chat list is always available when starting a chat. The chats section benefits more from the split view function, even though it is also available in the calls and status tabs.

The split view makes it easier to switch between talks without pausing active ones. Additionally, by enabling users to quickly scroll through the collection of conversations and find the ones they want without closing the open tab, it improves chat management and organisation.

Before being made available to everyone, such features are typically tested extensively in the private channel for a number of weeks or months. Hopefully it will shortly exit the beta stage.
