In the search to improve the most used instant messaging platform in the world, WhatsApp will implement several new features this year.
Among them, the so-called ‘vacation mode’, which prepares its soon arrival on mobile devices.
What does it consist of
The continuous notifications shown by social networks or mobile applications make it difficult to simply rest.
Therefore, the ‘vacation mode’ will arrive on phones in an early WhatsApp update.
With this mode you can temporarily archive conversations and groups of your choice, so that they remain silent and do not show notifications on the device
For example, it will allow a conversation that has been archived to continue without being in the list of chats that appears when you open the application, even if new notifications are received.
Currently, when archiving a conversation, it disappears from the main list, although it appears again when a message is received.
After the update of the ‘vacation mode’, which will be available on iOS and Android, you will have to enter the list of archived conversations to find out if a new message has arrived in those chats.
