Version 2.23.3.4 of WhatsApp is now available in the Google Play Beta program. According to reports, the app is implementing a new text editor for its drawing tool. Beta testing is not yet possible, but it is expected to begin soon. WhatsApp is still making progress on improving and adding new capabilities to its drawing tools.
Last year, the app got extra options, including new pencils, in the 2.22.9.7 beta version for Android. Currently, WABetaInfo has revealed that the upcoming version will feature a new redesign of the text editor. Here are the three new features that WhatsApp is planning to add to the app.

The first is quickly switching fonts by simply clicking on the available alternatives above the keyboard. This is already possible, but the new interface will make it more efficient and quicker. The next feature is the ability to modify the text’s orientation, which will give the user more flexibility on how the text is formatted in photos, videos, and GIFs by allowing them to select left, center, or right.
The text’s background can also be changed, allowing the user to choose a different color to draw attention to a particular section.
The function is still being developed and has not yet been made available to beta testers. There is no estimated time for the arrival of the stable version. But with the start of the testing phase and if no significant issues are discovered, it will be made available to the general public shortly.
WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.3.4 changelog:
- The ability to quickly switch between different fonts by simply tapping one of the font options displayed above the keyboard.

- The ability to change the text background.
