WhatsApp is working on a mute shortcut option for group chats that will allow users to easily mute the large groups when you don’t want to pay attention to them. It will be available for WhatsApp Desktop beta.
Group Chats are becoming ever more important as WhatsApp increased the number of people that can join a group up to 1024 participants and sub-groups for WhatsApp communities.
A mute shortcut will show up within the header of group chats. It will be easier to disable notifications of messages received in the group. WhatsApp is aiming to reducing the number of notifications you received from group chats every day.
When you mute a contact’s conversation or their status update, it’s your secret to keep. WhatsApp won’t notify the other party that you muted them. Similarly, you cannot tell if someone muted you, either. The same applies to group chats. No one in the group, not even the admin, will know that you muted the group.
WhatsApp has already unveiled the ability to automatically disable notifications for large groups on the beta version two weeks ago. The mute shortcut for group chats feature is under development and will be unveiled in the future update of WhatsApp desktop beta.
The messaging platform rolls out features from time to time for a user-friendly experience. It is said to be rolling out contact cards sharing on WhatsApp beta version.
The ability to create polls on a desktop has now been added to WhatsApp; the feature was previously only available on iOS and Android. It is possible to establish a poll within an individual or group chat on WhatsApp for Android and iOS, and you may add up to 12 alternatives after typing your question, according to WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo.
Whatsapp is working on a feature to enable users to share voice notes to the status updates for iOS. The users will be able to post a voice note of up to 30 seconds on their status updates with the text status, WABetaInfo reported. The microphone icon will show up when they don’t enter any text within this section. The feature is under development and is still not ready.
