Albums also come to WhatsApp for Android

We can now download the latest version of WhatsApp for Android, Beta version 2.17.227, which comes with a function that will appeal to many users, but not activate and hide. But a new new feature has been added, available to everyone, which complements the “reporting spam in groups” function.

And is that if we could already report as spam to groups and unknown contacts, we can now report as spam to known users, a new feature that appears at the end of view contact. It seems that WhatsApp does not want any spam in your application.

Albums also available in WhatsApp for Android

The most notable novelty is found when analyzing the APK of the new version of WhatsApp for Android, and is that although it only increases its size by 26 KB, 518 files have been modified, in addition to adding 5 files, which are responsible for the new Feature, The Albums, which are: “album_thumbnail_incoming.xml”, “album_thumbnail_outgoing.xml”, “conversation_row_album_left.xml”, “conversation_row_album_right.xml”, and “media_album.xml”.

And when we receive or send multiple photos or videos, more than 3, from the same sender in a row, they’ll now be grouped together as an album, a feature already available in the stable version of WhatsApp for iPhone. At the moment this feature remains unactivated, but as we have already commented it is already implemented.

We remind you that to download this Beta version from Google Play before you have to convert into beta testers.
