WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging platform, brings constant updates to improve user experience. Finally, with the arrival of the survey feature on iOS, many details have emerged. According to this detail, WhatsApp brings a shared image blur tool to the Android version as well.
Android users will have the ‘blur feature’
In some parts of the images shared via WhatsApp, there are many personal details such as addresses and numbers. There are various ways to remove these parts from images, such as cropping, drawing lines or pasting emojis. But somehow blurring makes the most sense. With this feature, a user will have the opportunity to pixelate a media before sending it.
According to folks at WABetaInfo, the new blur tool works for Android version 2.22.3. According to reports, the tool will come as part of a completely revamped drawing editor. As with the drawing tool, just swipe the parts you want to blur. The feature makes it an easy process without the need for a third-party editing app.
Blur feature is still under development
Although the WhatsApp blur feature has been on the platform for iOS for a while, there is no obvious reason why it is missing in the Android version. New leaks suggest that the Android app will also have the blur feature.
In addition to all this, the WhatsApp drawing editor will also bring two new pens of different thicknesses. This will increase the total number to three. There is no information on when it will be released as the WhatsApp blur feature is still under development. Also, the feature is not fully functional. So even if you install the beta version, you probably won’t be able to use it properly.
