WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that suggests your latest photos and videos directly in chat windows on both Android and iOS. When you open a conversation, the app can display a thumbnail of your most recent media and ask if you’d like to send it. The suggestion appears either as a toast notification above the chat bar or by temporarily replacing the camera icon with the thumbnail. Tapping the suggestion opens a drawing editor where you can add captions, stickers, or simply discard the media, reducing accidental sharing. The feature activates automatically and can be disabled in Settings > Chats under “Recent media suggestions.”
The rollout is gradual, so not all users will see the suggestions immediately. This addition builds on WhatsApp’s existing sticker suggestions, aiming to make sharing recent content quicker and more intuitive. Users who prefer not to have these prompts can turn them off manually.
Overall, the update enhances WhatsApp’s media‑sharing workflow by leveraging your recent gallery items, offering a convenient one‑tap path to share while still giving you control to review or skip the suggestion.
