This is very annoying when you have less time or more media items to share. Thankfully, we no longer have to go through this kind of problem as we can now send up to 100 pictures and videos within our WhatsApp chats, making it easier for users to share entire albums with their friends and family.
Aside from this, the latest WhatsApp update also adds the ability to attach a caption when sharing documents so you have a new way to describe them. It further lets you choose a longer subject and description for your groups so that you can better describe groups.
In addition to this, the company also makes it possible to better express yourself by creating an avatar to use as a sticker and profile photo. It’s worth mentioning that this feature is already available in the app (Via WABetaInfo) but the company has now only mentioned it in the changelog.
WhatsApp is bringing a new feature to improve notification management, especially for group chats through a new beta update. The fresh version of WhatsApp is available with version 2.24.21.22 in the Google Play Beta Program.
The new beta update of WhatsApp adds a new notification activity feature for group chats. It will let users choose how they want to receive notifications. There are two choices – All and Relevant to me.
- All: Users can get notifications for every message in the group.
- Relevant to Me: They will receive only important ones like mentions and replies.
In this way, users can easily manage large groups as the features help to reduce unnecessary messages. This change is particularly helpful for those in large groups.
Additionally, the new notification activity screen will help explain how muting group chats works. Currently, some users find it confusing when they still receive notifications from muted groups.
The new feature aims to make this clearer as it allows users to see exactly what types of notifications they can still receive, even when a group is muted.
WhatsApp is currently working on these features to enhance user experience and will make them available in future updates. Till then, stay tuned with us.
