The WhatsApp beta build on Android Pie is now updated with a new format for viewing the images received by users on the notification panel. As reported by Android Police, the new format will show the images in the notification panel itself. The images will appear in enlarged format when user will expand the notification. The same feature will work for stickers as well. However, the functionality will not support GIFs and videos.

The report also adds that the new feature will work for users even in the group chat. Whenever a user will receive an image then a small thumbnail will appear on the left side of the notification. When a user will expand the notification then the image will appear on the right side with the rest of the text.
Presently, the company is working on this feature for Android Pie users but it will roll out the same on older version as well.
