WHATSAPP IS WORKING ON MUTING SHORTCUTS FOR DESKTOP GROUP CHATS

Fri 02 December 2022:

A mute shortcut for group chats is reportedly being developed by Meta-owned messaging service WhatsApp for a future release of WhatsApp Desktop beta.

According to WABetaInfo, the mute shortcut will be shown at the top of group chats and will enable users to turn off notifications for messages received in the group.

Earlier this month, Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that 1,024 users can be added to a group, so the new feature will be very helpful for users who do not want to receive a lot of notifications from group chats.

WhatsApp beta for Android received the same feature to automatically turn off notifications for large groups two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, the messaging platform had rolled out a new feature to some beta testers that allow users to see profile photos within group chats on a desktop.

The feature helps users to identify group members for which they don’t have the phone number or when they have the same name.
