Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2014 WhatsApp has introduced four new group-chat\nfeatures to help users manage and keep up with conversations,\nparticularly when message traffic is heavy.<\/p>\n
\u201cBusy group chats mean lots of plans are being made, news is being\nshared and jokes are flowing. But they can also mean having many\nmessages waiting to be read when you are busy. Today, we are introducing\nfour updates to make it easier for you to pick up where you left off,\u201d\nWhatsApp said in a statement in Jakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n
The first update gives users a longer pinning option. They can now\npin important messages in a group permanently, without having to set a\ntime limit in advance.<\/p>\n
Second, WhatsApp has introduced a feature for sharing message history\nwith new members. Users can now retroactively send someone recent chat\nhistory after they join a group simply by tapping their name in the\nconversation.<\/p>\n
The third feature is Group Status, which allows users to share\nmoments or everyday updates specifically with members of a particular\ngroup.<\/p>\n
All members of that group can view and respond to the updates, as\nwell as add their own Status, which will disappear automatically after\n24 hours.<\/p>\n
The final update adds chat filters based on mentions and replies.<\/p>\n
These filters will specifically show unread group conversations in\nwhich users have been mentioned, received a direct reply or been tagged\nwith @everyone<\/span>,\nhelping them quickly catch up on the chats most relevant to them.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/whatsapp-introduces-new-features-to-help-users-keep-track-of-group-chats-1793354014", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
