WhatsApp is testing a new feature in its beta program that could change how you interact with statuses. The upcoming update for version 2.24.8.13, spotted through Google Play Beta, might introduce notifications for unseen status updates.
Building on Mentions Functionality
This development follows the recent addition of notifications for mentions within statuses in beta version 2.24.6.19. Now, WhatsApp seems to be expanding on this functionality by alerting users about new statuses they haven’t viewed yet.
Staying Connected with Your Network
With these notifications, you’ll be informed whenever your contacts post new statuses. This can help you stay more engaged and connected with their activities within the app.
Uncertainties Remain
While the core functionality seems clear, details regarding the specific triggers for these notifications are still under development. It’s unclear if notifications will be based on factors like frequency of interaction or user preferences.
