The biggest change in the latest beta version of WhatsApp for iOS 13 is the integration of the new Context Menu for chats and groups, which replaces the app’s custom context menu used in previous versions.<\/p>\n
The Share Sheet integration implemented in previous updates has been temporarily disabled within the messaging app, as it reportedly contained an issue which caused the Share Sheet to crash.<\/p>\n
WhatsApp is investigating this problem and will add the feature back in once it has been resolved, WABetaInfo said.<\/p>\n
