Summary WhatsApp is rolling out a new Android and iOS feature that suggests users’ latest photos and videos when opening chats, making media sharing quicker and easier.
(Web Desk) - WhatsApp has started rolling out a new feature for Android and iOS users that will make sharing photos and videos more convenient.
The new feature suggests the most recently saved photo or video from a user's gallery as soon as they open a chat. A thumbnail of the latest media file will appear above the chat bar, temporarily replacing the camera icon.
Users can tap the suggested thumbnail to open the editing interface before sharing the media. This allows them to add captions, stickers, and other edits instead of sending the file immediately.
The feature can suggest different types of media, including photographs, screenshots, and videos saved from other applications.
However, using the suggestion is entirely optional. Users can ignore it and continue their conversations as usual or manually select recent media from their WhatsApp gallery.
According to the provided information, the feature will be enabled automatically once it becomes available on an account. However, users who do not wish to use it can turn it off by navigating to **Settings > Chats > Recent Media Suggestions**.
WhatsApp is distributing the feature gradually, with availability expected to expand to more Android and iOS users over the coming weeks.
The update aims to simplify media sharing by giving users quicker access to their latest photos and videos without requiring them to open the gallery manually.
