With this feature, the users will be able to share contact cards right within the same chat share sheet, where the options to share files and create polls is visible, WABetaInfo reported. According to the report, this feature has been released to some beta users and will be rolled out to more testers over the coming days.
Also, the messaging platform is working on a feature to enable users to share voice notes to the status updates for iOS. The users will be able to post a voice note of up to 30 seconds on their status updates with the text status, WABetaInfo reported. The microphone icon will show up when they don’t enter any text within this section. The feature is under development and is still not ready.
