WhatsApp hidden group chats feature

WhatsApp Beta 2.24.10.13 beta update is rolling out for Android users, which enhances user privacy with a hidden community group chats feature. This feature is currently under development and will be available in future updates.

This new feature aims to provide users with more privacy options. It allows hidden participation in group chats, without displaying activity to the entire community. The icon is a simple indicator for users to manage their group chats more effectively.

The Hidden Community Group Chats feature of WhatsApp is mainly useful for community moderators, who will have better tools to manage group privacy and organization. By allowing groups to be hidden, sensitive discussions can be kept confidential.
