WhatsApp comes with a special vacation mode

WhatsApp comes with a special holiday mode, which finally introduces the feature that fans have been asking for, even outside of holidays.

In recent years, chat apps such as Telegram and Messenger have rapidly added new features, while WhatsApp has largely remained the same. Fortunately, Facebook is busy catching up.

WhatsApp introduces vacation mode

For example, you can recently choose to send your messages disappear automatically, and soon you will even be able to WhatsApp use on multiple devices. Without the need to connect to your phone. Finally, a major frustration factor is removed. In other words, WhatsApp Web that continuously connects to you smartphone loses.

A new feature will be added soon. That appears from WhatsApp Beta, a beta version of the app in which developers can already test changes and new functionality. This is where the so-called “Vacation Mode” has surfaced. Or, as we would call it in Dutch, the holiday mode.

Archived Conversations

That’s the new name of a long-awaited feature that has already surfaced, the “Ignore Archived Chats” functionality. That name actually says it all: normally an archived chat will simply appear again between your active chats if someone in that archived chat sends a message.

That can be very handy, but sometimes you use the archive function mainly to get rid of a chat. The holiday mode will ensure that such chats simply remain in your list of archived conversations. Even if that chat becomes active again.

The name hints at the purpose of this change: getting users to create a break from WhatsApp, for example when you are on vacation. Stop being bothered by all the chats you’ve archived for a while.

Not just on vacation

However, a large group of users will also notice this change beyond that use cases to cheer. It offers them the choice to determine for themselves how the archiving functionality works. After all, it is just what you expect from the functionality and what you like.

For example, we mainly use the archive function in the way it works now: archive chats that we have already answered, so that your inbox remains empty and clean. If someone replies in those archived chats, the conversation in question will return to your active chats inbox. However, that you will soon be given the choice is ideal.

The big question is: how fast is it going WhatsApp roll out this holiday mode to everyone? Unfortunately, it is often impossible to draw an arrow there. Depending on how the tests and development go, it can take several weeks to months.
