It is the function of introducing the profile pictures of a contact in message notifications. The novelty, announced by the portal WABetaInfo – specialized in advancing information about the resources of the messenger – could become the first tool to be released by the app this year. It is currently only available in the Beta version.
Novelty can shake user privacy
According to a leaked image, the feature will run in a practical and simple way on Android and iOS devices. Usually, when someone receives a message, only the contact’s name appears in the on-screen notification.
With the launch of the new tool, the photo will also be displayed. Such an update will apply to both individual and group chats. The novelty promises to put an end to those who usually save contact with other people with different names, for example, to evade the eyes of the curious.
Here’s a screenshot that shows the new functionality in action:
As it is a testing phase, only those who use WhatsApp Beta will have access to this novelty. The release for all other users should only happen after the correction of eventual bugs. It is worth keeping an eye out at all times and following the news.
