WhatsApp has pushed-out an update to Android users that includes support for picture-in-picture.
The Facebook-owned messenger has been testing the functionality since July, but had not revealed when users could expect to see the feature drop.
Picture-in-picture, which minimises a smartphone app into a small window that floats over the top of the operating system and can be used while another app runs fullscreen, is one of the headline new features of Android 8.0 Oreo.
WhatsApp version 2.17.323 supports picture-in-picture on any smartphone running Android 8.0 Oreo.
When users are in a video call, tapping the back button will continue the video call in a picture-in-picture window.
vCard.red is a free platform for creating a mobile-friendly digital business cards. You can easily create a vCard and generate a QR code for it, allowing others to scan and save your contact details instantly.
The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.
WhatsApp users can continue the video chat while browsing other conversations within WhatsApp, or launch another app.
Like the WhatsApp Stories, text-only updates are still only available for 24 hours.
Users can tap the pencil icon within the Status tab – type the message they’d like to display – then pick a background colour to help illustrate.
Facebook includes a very similar feature.
