New shortcut will be available inside the chatbar

WhatsApp's new shortcut will be found inside the chatbar and will replace the previous entry point that opened the camera, so users will not have to take multiple steps to access gallery content. Through this, users can directly access photos and videos and can also record instant video messages by tapping and holding.
