Recently, WhatsApp released a new beta build for Android users, which brings a new archive. This new functionality is a modified way that allows WhatsApp users to keep their chats in the archive. However, this update reached a limited number of Android beta testers as this feature is undeveloped.

According to the latest information, WhatsApp rolling out the latest 2.21.11.2 beta update in order to expand the new archive feature to more users. As it is now available for many users, it looks like this feature is now working fine and has no errors or issues.

WhatsApp Messanger’s New Archive includes a new setting that allows you to decide if you want to keep in the archive all chats where there are new incoming messages. When the user will move a chat to the new archive, it’s automatically muted and you won’t receive any notification when new messages arrive.

The archived chat cell is moved at the top of your chat list when you move a chat in the archive to indicate how many chats are in your archive that have new messages. Moreover, you can also find this option in the archive section that allows you to easily reach this feature without searching WhatsApp Settings.

If you don’t need a new archive, just disable the option, then nothing will change for you: when new messages are received as before, no stored chats will be kept, and the stored chat unit will be located in the chat at the end of the list.

How to find New Archive?

  • Just go to your WhatsApp Settings
  • Select Chats option
  • You may see a new option called “Keeps chats archived”
  • You can tap on it to enable

However, it is a staged rollout so don’t worry if this update still doesn’t bring the new archive for you. At the same time, WhatsApp also released a new sticker pack called Show Asian Love to every user including Android and iOS. You can easily download the new stickers pack by clicking HERE.

WhatsApp Inviting prompt

WhatsApp is enhancing user engagement with a new feature that prompts users to invite their contacts to join the messaging platform. This feature appears as a banner at the top of the chat list and is part of a targeted campaign to increase the app’s user base.

It is currently available to a select group of users who have installed the latest WhatsApp updates on iOS and Android devices. The banner aims to remind users to encourage their friends and family to use WhatsApp.

This approach is especially useful in countries where WhatsApp users are less, as it serves as a visible and convenient prompt for users to invite more people to the platform. By highlighting the advantages of new features and a unified chat experience, WhatsApp is looking to attract more users and maintain its position as a leading messaging service.

The feature is expected to be rolled out more widely in the coming weeks. This new move indicates that WhatsApp wants to keep users informed and connected, using the visibility of in-app notifications.

WhatsApp Drawing Editor

WhatsApp is rolling out a new beta update for Android devices, which brings a redesigned drawing tool. Users can identify the latest beta update through version 2.24.9.6, available on Google Play Store

The fresh beta update shows a new design that relocates the brush and color selection tools to the bottom of the screen. This change is particularly beneficial for larger screens, where reaching the top of the screen can be inconvenient.

Additionally, WhatsApp plans to expand color choices with a palette of 24 default colors, making it easier for users to choose and apply colors quickly. By placing the drawing tool in an easy-to-access place, WhatsApp will allow users to focus less on navigating the interface and more on their creativity.
