A new development or beta version of WhatsApp has revealed some exciting changes and improvements coming to the app. These novelties are focused on the image editing tool, adding more possibilities and a function aimed at privacy and security when sharing images.

First of all, the people of WABetaInfo has discovered that WhatsApp is working on adding two new brushes to the image editor. Currently it is only possible to annotate or draw on images by using a brush and changing its color, but with the new brushes they will add different types of brush widths and possibly a new style (such as a highlight for example).

But without a doubt the most interesting novelty is that WhatsApp is working on adding a function to blur images in its editing tool. This means that it will be possible to select parts of an image to blur them and not share certain information, keep it private if you wish. For example, sharing an image of a car but blurring its license plate, or a photo showing some people whose privacy you want to keep, among other purposes.

Of course, this is the development version of WhatsApp, which means that for now these functions will not be available to all users, but it should be a matter of time before they arrive through an update.ation to iOS and Android, along with more news. [[WABetaInfo via AndroidPolice]
