WhatsApp is enhancing its user experience for iOS beta testers with the introduction of two new features in its latest updates.
The recent updates in the WhatsApp Beta for iOS, as reported by WABetaInfo, include a chat lock shortcut and the ability for users to set temporary text status.
Let’s first talk about the chat lock feature which allows users to secure individual chats directly from the main chat list.
This update makes securing chats more accessible, as users can now swipe left on any chat, select ‘More,’ and find the ‘Lock Chat’ option in the context menu.
The other intriguing addition is the disappearing text status in the WhatsApp Beta for iOS update.
Unlike the traditional WhatsApp Status in the Updates tab, this feature allows users to set a temporary text status in their profile.
Users can choose durations like 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, or 2 weeks, after which the text status will automatically disappear.
WhatsApp has been quite dedicated recently to improve as can be seen in its recent rollouts.
WhatsApp reintroduced View Once Videos and Photos for Web and Desktop users and implemented email address verification for iOS users.
These updates showcase WhatsApp’s efforts to stay relevant and user-centric in the evolving digital communication landscape.
