WhatsApp is set to roll out a new feature aimed at helping users keep track of missed messages and status updates. The update, which is currently being tested in the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.25.29, will notify users about messages they have not seen yet, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
This upcoming feature is designed to enhance the user experience by providing more control over notifications. According to reports, users will be able to customize settings for status updates, including turning off notifications for reactions. For those who prefer to manually check reactions, they can do so within the status screen.
One of the key additions is the ability to clear the unread message count automatically when the app is opened. By enabling this option, users will reset the unread message notification each time they access WhatsApp, offering a fresh start with every app launch. This feature will help reduce the clutter of unread messages, making it easier to focus on new ones and prioritize urgent conversations.
The update is expected to make WhatsApp messaging more efficient by allowing users to quickly identify and address new messages, rather than being distracted by older, less relevant notifications.
WhatsApp has also recently rolled out a new chat filter feature, making it easier for users to locate specific conversations. The chat filter, available for iPhone users in version 23.25.10.76, enables users to find their messages faster, ensuring a more seamless and organized chat experience.
