WhatsApp is preparing to bring a new feature for group chats. Consequently, to avoid confusion in WhatsApp group chats, the profile photo will also appear next to the name of the person sending the message.
The Whatsapp instant messaging app is working on a new feature for group chats.
According to the news shared by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will now include people’s profile photo in group chats. The profile photos that will take place in the groups will be placed on the left side of the message bubbles.
People who are not using a profile photo or photos that are not visible for privacy reasons will be displayed with the default profile icon. The profile icons will be the same color as the name.
In testing phase
WhatsApp believes this feature will avoid the confusion created by anonymous people. Also, WhatsApp users who don’t like saving numbers will easily understand who sent which message without looking at the name.
It is claimed that the profile photo feature for WhatsApp group chats is currently being tested. It is not clear for now when the innovation will arrive at the stable version.
