The latest WhatsApp test build mentions a new feature. It’s already well-known to Telegram users and helps not only spice up conversations but also hide information from unwanted viewers.
The Spoiler tool will appear in the standard formatting menu next to the Bold, Italic, and Strikethrough options. When selected, the selected text will be masked by a gray bar, which you’ll need to tap to view.
Alternatively, the desired section can be marked on both sides using the ||text|| format . The sending effect in this case will be the same as selecting a spoiler in the on-screen menu.
According to WABetaInfo, the new feature is currently in development. It’s not yet known when it will be generally available or whether it will apply to images and videos.
