CALIFORNIA (Kashmir English): Messaging application WhatsApp has started working on a new feature for the benefit of its web users.
According to reports from WABetaInfo, the feature is currently under development and is not yet available to users.
Under this feature, users will now be able to choose their own theme in their chat. Users will be able to choose unique colors and wallpapers.
According to WhatsApp, this feature is for the interest of users, through which they will be able to see their favorite colors and images in the chat.
WhatsApp says that this unique feature will be available to users soon.
WhatsApp to show status from unknown numbers
Messaging app WhatsApp is preparing to introduce a new feature that will make it easier and more extensive for users to view status updates, even in some cases, statuses from unknown numbers.
According to reports, the company is working on making the status feature part of the Chats tab to make it more prominent in the app. This change has been seen in recent beta versions that are being tested on both iOS and Android platforms.
Under the new feature, a carousel of status updates will be shown above the Chats tab, which is somewhat similar to Instagram Stories.
However, this feature will not appear automatically, but the user will have to pull the chat list down, after which the statuses will appear, just like stories are seen in Telegram.
The order of status updates will be according to the user’s activity. The statuses of people who are most connected will appear first. The option to add a new status will be at the top, and the statuses of muted contacts will be shown last.
In addition, statuses will automatically disappear after 24 hours and will also include music, stickers, and other features. This feature is still in development and is likely to be introduced to users soon.
This initiative aims to further increase user engagement.
