The notification system automatic or “push” of WhatsApp on iOS devices will soon improve with the addition of a new feature that the competition has long enjoyed. As reported by the Wabetainfo medium, the latest beta version (in testing phase) of WhatsApp for Apple devices at last will show the profile pictures of the contacts in the notifications.
Currently, the content of a WhatsApp notification on iOS only shows the name of the corresponding contact or group and the content of the message. The only image is the WhatsApp application icon, but it will move to a more discreet position, superimposing itself on the contact’s profile image, at a much smaller size and in a corner.
Thus, WhatsApp it is equal to other applications in iOs such as Telegram that already showed the contact’s profile picture in a notification, as well as the Android version WhatsApp that has been incorporating this feature for a long time.
The new feature is being tested by WhatsApp beta 2.22.1.1 testers for iOS 15, since it uses the API of this version of the operating system for iPhone and iPad.
Wabetainfo points out that the function may show some errors when adding the images of the profiles as it is a version still in development. It is unknown when it will go to the stable version of the application and if the feature will only be supported in iOS 15 o also in older versions of the operating system.
Another novelty in this version of WhatsApp will be the relocation of the options “Mailing lists” Y “New group“, actually in “More options”, In a different part of the menu. Support has also been implemented for focus mode and information in notifications when someone in a group mentions or responds to user messages.
