WhatsApp is currently working on a new feature that will allow users to choose the language used in the app, regardless of the language set on the device that is set as default.

Currently this Meta service opens and works with the language selected in the Settings of the terminal where WhatsApp is installed and does not offer the possibility to change it in the application itself.

However, as WABetaInfo confirmed at 2.22.19.10, WhatsApp for Android’s latest update released via the Google Play beta program, WhatsApp is working on a feature that will make this possible in two ways.

This portal revealed that the instant messaging app started testing the language change from the Account Settings section a few months ago and restarted the option after it disappeared in the latest beta versions.

As can be seen from the screenshots it shared, the company plans to implement a new welcome menu that will integrate a panel where you can choose from different languages ​​each time the application is launched for the first time.

This means that if the app is reinstalled, this home screen will appear first during the account setup process.

Once this step is complete, users will be able to change the language used by this Meta service from the Settings section which currently has ‘Account’, ‘Chats’, ‘Notifications’, ‘Storage and data’ and ‘Help’. ‘.

Specifically, the new section is called ‘Application language’ (‘Application language’), a section that some beta testers of the app already have access to and will soon reach more users. At this time, it is not specified when this change will take effect.
