The screenshot shared by the blog site shows that the WhatsApp Web and Desktop app users will be able to add emojis, stickers, text, and doodle to the image. They will also be able to undo or redo their changes and crop an image before sharing. These options are similar to the options that WhatsApp users get before they share an image via the company’s app.
The new drawing tool can be accessed from the top after selecting the image you want to share with your contact. Meanwhile, the option to add text is still present at the bottom along with the newly introduced ‘view once’ feature for disappearing photos and videos. According to the publication, the feature will soon be available for all users and they are recommended to update to the latest version of WhatsApp on Android, iOS, and desktop.
