WhatsApp Group Chats Get Smarter: Online Counter & Message Reminders in Testing
WhatsApp is gearing up to improve its group chat and message management capabilities. It currently has two amazing features in beta testing: an Online Counter for WhatsApp Group Chats and a Message Reminder System. These updates will make group interactions more dynamic and ensure no missed messages, promising a more efficient and user-friendly experience. Let’s dig into what these features offer.
Online Counter for WhatsApp Group Chats
The Online Counter feature aims to provide real-time insights into group activity. The feature was reportedly spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android (version 2.24.25.30). The counter displays the number of group members connected to WhatsApp below the group name. It is pertinent to mention that the feature does not reveal individual names unless users have enabled their online visibility. Users with their “last seen” or “online status” hidden will not be counted, respecting privacy settings.
It is a welcoming feature for time-sensitive groups like work teams or event planners, as it helps identify the best time for discussions or updates. It is available to select beta testers, however, the counter is anticipated to roll out to a broader audience soon.
Message Reminder Feature
WhatsApp is also testing a Message Reminder system. It is actually an expansion of its previous notification alerts for unviewed status updates. The feature was first spotted in WhatsApp beta for Android (version 2.24.25.29). The all-new WhatsApp feature gently nudges users to revisit unread chats. Notifications highlight unread chats, helping users manage their personal, work, and group chats more effectively. The feature is quite handy for users managing multiple chats or those prone to missing important messages in the hustle of daily life. This update aims to refine the way users prioritize and manage their interactions, decreasing the chances of missing critical conversations.
Both features are currently limited to beta testers. However, they will roll out to a broader audience soon. As WhatsApp refines these updates, users can anticipate smoother group interactions and better message management soon.
