WhatsApp, the Meta-owned messaging giant, is gearing up to roll out a groundbreaking feature that allows users to track recent online contacts, according to reports from WABetaInfo.
The platform, renowned for its vigilant tracking of updates within the popular messaging service, disclosed on Tuesday that a select group of beta testers have been granted access to this innovative feature.
Those who install the latest updates of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store are set to be among the first to experience this cutting-edge functionality.
This feature introduces a new section within the contacts list for beta testers, offering a glimpse into recent online activity. While not encompassing the entire roster of contacts, it provides a snapshot of recent active users, simplifying the process of selecting individuals for calls.
Despite its limitation in displaying only a subset of contacts, this feature promises invaluable insights into the online presence of contacts, aiding users in determining who might be available for communication. By eliminating the need for manual activity checks and prompting users to connect with active contacts, WhatsApp aims to streamline communication and optimize user experience.
