WhatsApp appears to be working on a new feature that could streamline how iPhone users interact with external links. Instead of automatically redirecting to Safari or another external browser, the messaging app may soon introduce an integrated in-app browsing experience.

With this feature, users would be able to view websites and articles without ever leaving their active conversations. In-app browsers typically provide standard navigation tools and security alerts, alongside the option to switch over to a full external browser when preferred.

The feature is currently in development and has not yet been rolled out to the general public. It will likely undergo beta testing with select users before seeing a broader release across iOS devices.
