When forwarding a message, you will see a new “create group” icon within the forwarding screen. Tapping on this icon allows users to instantly create a new group and select participants to add to it. Once the group is created, the forwarded message will be automatically shared with all its members.

This new option not only saves time for users but also presents an excellent opportunity to create groups for specific occasions or shared interests.

The feature is gradually rolling out to a select group of beta testers who have updated to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android version from the Google Play Store. However, the company will expand this feature to more users in the coming days.

The app is getting a complete makeover to align with Google’s Material guidelines. Previously, WhatsApp on iOS and Android had different designs. However, now the company is aiming to create a consistent and unified app experience across both platforms.

Additionally, the company has recently introduced WhatsApp for Wear OS smartwatches. It will allow users to access their messages conveniently from their wrists. Another notable update is the ability to message unknown contacts without the need to save their numbers.
