WhatsApp in Beta Version

This WhatsApp 2.20.200.11 beta update is available for Android users from the Google Play beta program. As of now, the limit of testers for this beta is reached so WhatsApp isn't allowing for new testers to join this beta program. According to WABetaInfo tracker, this new wallpaper update is under development and will be soon made available in the near future. It isn't a feature for the WhatsApp beta version yet so estimating a release date is not possible either. Other features that will be released along with the wallpaper update include the ability to change the opacity of the wallpaper along with the option to add WhatsApp Doodles to any of the standard wallpapers of WhatsApp in Android & iOS.
