WhatsApp fixes chat bar and emoji keyboard issues with new beta

WhatsApp is now fixing issues related to the chat bar and emoji keyboard via the latest beta update. The company is rolling out the fix to a limited number of testers at present. It may expand this build to more beta users in the upcoming days.
The company sends testing builds to certain users before making it official. A beta rollout verifies if the new feature is functioning properly or resulting in some issues.
Being a beta build, often these rollouts lead to certain bugs or problems in the app. As of now, WhatsApp is addressing issues with the chat bar and emoji keyboard.
WhatsApp has been preparing for a new welcome screen in the AI chatbot section. Although this beta update hindered the user experience with the chat feature. Users reported that the chat bar appeared below the emoji keyboard whenever they accessed it. As a result, they faced issues while returning to the type bar.

Even though a temporary fix for this issue is to dismiss the emoji keyboard via a gesture. But the solution restores the chat bar for a few moments. The issue is not only irritating but also frustrating users as they were unable to maintain the communication flow.
The good news is that WhatsApp has fixed the chat bar and emoji keyboard issues with the latest Android beta 2.25.3.4 version. The update is rolling out gradually and may reach all the users soon.
