The company has rolled out a new update to enhance the experience for Android users. The newly redesigned message menu will let Android users access emojis and other features like delete, forward, reply, keep, and info at the same time. The emojis will appear above the text, while the rest will line below. iPhone users have already been using the feature for a while, and now it is time for Android users to benefit from it too.
 
It rolled out with the WhatsApp beta for the Android 2.23.10.6 update, and it was first noticed by WABetaInfo. The revamped message menu is being worked on and will be available to beta testers in a future app update. Meta really wants to make WhatsApp look better and satisfy its users while adding new ones each day. You can see the new menu design for Android phones below.

It also automatically conceals the contents of the chat in notifications.
