Meta-owned messaging app WhatsApp is adding a new feature that many people have been waiting for. This update will change how you use the status feature. Some might find it tricky, while others will find it really useful.
Now, you’ll be able to mention someone in your WhatsApp status, just like you do on Instagram or Facebook. The person you mention will get a notification about it.
In simple words, whoever you post the status for will definitely see it. This new feature is being tested in the beta version 2.24.6.19 of WhatsApp for Android. If you’re a beta user, you can try it out.
WhatsApp is also working on another privacy feature. They’re planning to stop people from taking screenshots of profile photos.
This new privacy feature will make it so that when someone tries to take a screenshot of your WhatsApp profile, they’ll only get a blank screen. This feature is also being tested in the beta version 2.24.4.25 of WhatsApp for Android.
