The messaging service WhatsApp is reportedly working on a some major changes to the way the app is used, affecting things such as images and blocking people.
The app, which is owned by Meta, rolls out any potential changes in a beta test before making them available to the public.
And experts at WABetaInfo have uncovered the details about the updates coming to the app, giving users a sneak peek before the changes are installed.
There are five major changes in the works that people should be aware of.
The Sun reports that one of these updates is the ability to forward pictures and videos to your contacts and add a caption, which you're unable to do right now.
Another one that's currently being tested in beta is detecting text in WhatsApp images so that you can copy and paste it - and this could be handy for things like documents and forms, saving you from having to type out any of the details yourself.
There are also a couple of updates that haven't reached the beta testing stage yet, but are still under development.
One of these is being able to shuffle about your WhatsApp chat history between Android phones without using Google Drive, making it much easier to do so.
You'll also soon be able to block someone more rapidly, as the app is developing a block shortcut in the chat list.
Finally, the last update that's in the works is a brand new camera mode that apparently makes it much easier to record video.
It's not yet known when these changes will be made live, as they'll all need to go through numerous testing processes to make sure they're working in top condition.
But you could be able to help and be part of the beta testing by signing up, which you can do on your Android by heading to the Google Play Store.
Search for 'WhatsApp' and scroll down the page until you see 'Become a Beta tester'. Hit 'I'm in' and then click 'Join' to confirm.
Now all you have to do is wait for the update to the beta version of the app.
Joining the WhatsApp beta on iOS is more difficult, and has limited capacity, but you can follow Apple’s guide here.
