WhatsApp: what changes with the integrated web browser
The novelty therefore for WhatsApp concerns the possibility of using a browser integrated in the app, already seen in some of its competitors. In this case what you will be able to do is to open links to websites directly from the chats. The image shows just a first preview of how the web browser interface will appear which will be completely native and will be supported by the WebView v66 standard . It will offer Safe Browsing functionality to alert users when they are visiting sites they do not consider safe.

The native browser that Whatsapp will introduce will be based on the Android API and this should protect users who want to use it from any privacy concerns . At the moment, as often happens with these new features in Beta, it is not possible to know when the integrated web browser will actually be introduced.
