WhatsApp will soon be rolling out a new status notifications feature
WhatsApp continues to impress in the world of messaging apps with its cutting-edge features. Following recent developments in AI technology, the company is now poised to enhance the way users view statuses.
The latest buzz surrounds WhatsApp’s upcoming Android feature, which aims to provide users with status update notifications. WABetaInfo reports that this feature is currently under development and is slated to be included in an upcoming version of WhatsApp. The feature in Android beta “2.24.8.13” is not yet available for extensive testing.
Improving user engagement
Apart from this, WhatsApp is also working on a feature that will alert users when they are mentioned in a status update, which will improve their engagement with the platform. The primary goal of this development is to keep users informed about important activities on their network. However, what sets this feature apart is its ability to notify users of invisible status updates.
Speculation and anticipation
The leaked screenshot reveals a notification that reads “You have an invisible status update from [contact name],” although the exact triggers for these notifications are unclear. WABetaInfo’s speculation suggests that notifications may be requested when users have missed status updates in which they were mentioned. This ensures that users stay connected and up-to-date with the interactions in their WhatsApp circles.
