WhatsApp rolling out new chat typing indicator

WhatsApp is introducing a redesigned typing indicator for individual and group chats, currently available to some beta testers.

Instead of appearing at the top of the screen, the new indicator will show up as a chat bubble within the conversation, allowing users to identify who is typing without losing focus on the chat.
