        "content": "<p>Jakarta, VIVA \u2013 WhatsApp has introduced a new feature called Group\nMessage History, designed to make group chat experiences more practical\nand convenient.<\/p>\n<p>Through this feature, both admins and members can share recent\nmessages with newly joined members, enabling them to immediately\nunderstand the context of ongoing conversations.<\/p>\n<p>This long-awaited feature allows the sharing of between 25 and up to\n100 of the most recent messages when adding new members to a group.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, new members need only read the most relevant\nconversations without having to request screenshots or separately\nforwarded messages. Like other private messages, Group Message History\nremains protected by end-to-end encryption, ensuring security and\nprivacy are maintained.<\/p>\n<p>The sharing of message history is also optional. Admins have control\nto disable this setting, but can still share message history at any time\nif needed.<\/p>\n<p>To maintain transparency, all group members will receive a\nnotification when message history is shared. The messages are displayed\ncomplete with timestamps and sender names, and are visually\ndistinguished from regular messages.<\/p>\n<p>WhatsApp is rolling out this feature gradually as part of its ongoing\nefforts to improve the quality and privacy of group chat\nexperiences.<\/p>",
