WhatsApp already has some media editing tools like the ability to add stickers, crop photos and more for mobile as well as desktop users. The Meta-owned messaging platform plans to add more features to its toolbox with the introduction of an image sharpening feature, which is now in beta.

A recent report from WABetaInfo reveals that WhatsApp is testing the image sharpening tool as part of its Desktop client beta. The Blur tool allows users to blur an image or part of an image before sending it to a person.

A shared screenshot shows the feature in action. When you send an image or video, there will be an option to blur the media or select the part to blur. This option will be next to existing options such as crop, stickers, markup and more. Take a look at the screenshot to see what it looks like.

This new feature helps users send a picture or video securely by simply hiding sensitive information. Additionally, this will not require users to use third-party editing apps before performing the action.
