WhatsApp is implementing a suggestion to send the latest photo or video from your gallery

The popular Meta messaging app continues to update its increasingly ingenious features. If a while ago we saw how WhatsApp suggests stickers through the emojis you write, it will now extend this function to multimedia content. Some users of the application in iOS and Android They are starting to receive this new feature that offers you to send the latest image that has been added to your gallery.

WhatsApp suggests sending the latest photo or video from your gallery

WhatsApp is testing two ways to show you this suggestion. When you open a chat, the application may suggest sending a photo in a popup notification above the writing bar. The second will be to convert the camera icon at the end of the text bar into a mini icon with the last photo or video, asking if you want to send it. Although there are two ways to suggest this, only one of them will appear, and in both cases you have options to reject or close it.

If you decide to send it and click on the notification, the photo will not be sent immediately, but rather the photo editor with latest photo already uploaded. Here you can also review the content, adjust it and include other elements such as stickers or emojis, or even close the window without sending it.

The new WhatsApp feature does not select photos intelligently

Choosing the photo does not include intelligent filtering or anything like that, but is limited to sending the last photo or video in your gallery. It does not even distinguish between the content, since it can be a photo downloaded from the internet, a video that has been sent to you or a photo that you have taken with the camera.

When the option is available it is activated automatically, although you can remove it in the Chat settings. At the moment it is not available to all users, although it is expected to progressively reach the rest of users in the coming days.
