WhatsApp Introduces New “Typing Bubble” Feature for Easier Communication
WhatsApp is rolling out a useful new feature for its users: a visual “typing bubble” indicator. This bubble will appear in chat windows when someone you’re messaging is typing a response, providing a clear visual cue about their activity.
How the Typing Bubble Works
When someone types a message in an individual or group chat, a bubble will appear next to their profile photo within the chat window. Instead of the previous text-based “typing…” indicator, users will now see a more engaging three-dot animation within the bubble. The bubble will remain visible until the person sends their message.
Rolling Out Gradually to Android and iOS
According to WhatsApp’s official announcement, the typing bubble feature is being released gradually for both Android and iOS users. This means that not everyone will see it immediately. To make sure you get the feature, ensure you’re using the latest version of the WhatsApp app on your device. Users can generally check for updates within their app store.
An Evolution From the Status Bar
Previously, WhatsApp indicated when someone was typing by displaying a green “typing…” status at the top of the chat window, above the contact name or number.
This new “typing bubble” offers a more localized and visually appealing indication, making it easier to see who is actively composing a message at a glance.
Origins in Beta Testing
Keen-eyed developers had already spotted hints of this new feature in beta versions of WhatsApp as early as October.
Now, it’s finally making its way to the wider user base, promising to enhance the conversational experience within the popular messaging app.
