WhatsApp launches new feature for users across the World
Shares
Meta-owned WhatsApp is the most popular messaging platform for all good reasons as it keeps improving the app for the users' convenience.
In one of its latest updates, the company is bringing enhancements to the profile icons within the group chats, WABetainfo reported.
"WhatsApp is bringing enhancements to those thumbnails within group chats by introducing a particular revision to make it easier to recognise group members without a profile photo."
It said that some of the beta testers on Android may be able to experiment with the same improvements today if they install the latest version update available on the Google Play Store. [image: — WABetaInfo]— WABetaInfo
As you can see in the attached screenshot, it is evident that WhatsApp introduced a revision to the thumbnails of contacts whose profile pictures are hidden or unavailable.
Previously, WhatsApp displayed a default empty profile photo with a color that matched the corresponding contact name, in order to improve their identification.
But with the new feature, the updated look of the thumbnails now displays the initials of the respective group member’s name.
The WhatsApp news tracker suggested that the enhancement will further assist other participants of the conversation by enabling them to quickly identify the contact represented by the thumbnail.
