WhatsApp is Launching these two new features in some time: What you must know

Facebook-owned electronic communication platform WhatsApp has introduced the variety of new features within the previous few months for its users. Now, if the reports are to be believed, the corporate is testing a brand new ‘Mark as reading’ feature that may permit users to mark a message from the notification panel itself. excluding this, a feature that may permit the users to mute a conversation from the notification centre is additionally being tested, as per a report in WABetaInfo.

The ‘Mark as reading’ Shortcut was noticed in WhatsApp android beta version 2.18.214. Since the feature is presently under development the beta testers may not be able to access it. The new ‘Mark as read’ feature can permit users to mark a message as read directly from the notifications centre, while not even open the chat or the app.

As of now, this feature isn't on the market and therefore the users need to open the app and click on on the message to mark it as read. the corporate, however, provides a ‘Reply’ possibility for WhatsApp messages within the notifications panel. This Reply possibility can still be there and a brand new button referred to as ‘Mark as Read’ are intercalary within the WhatsApp notification Shortcut.

The mute option, meanwhile, can permit the users to mute a conversation directly from the notification panel – while not open the WhatsApp app. If these 2 options are created on the market for the users, the notification panel on your phone may get a brand new look presently. The options are expected to be created on the market to beta testers presently, followed by a public roll out.

After facing criticism over the spread of fake news, WhatsApp had recently made available its ‘Forwarded’ label in a move to curb spreading of fake news and spam on its platform. The label helps users identify whether a message has been composed by the sender or simply forwarded, a move that will likely help control mass forward of fake news

This label also works for photos and videos, excluding the text. Not simply this, the platform is additionally testing ‘Suspicious Link Detection’ feature that may warn users of links resulting in a fake or different website with a red label.
