- The Beta 2.25.7.7 version of WhatsApp for Android includes a feature that groups related messages in a thread.
- This could greatly facilitate expanding chats.
- I am glad that it seems a practical characteristic instead of an AI tool.
While companies are falling on themselves to add AI tools to all types of products and services, WhatsApp seems to be treading a different route, with the messaging service that seeks to add a characteristic that groups the specific responses to messages in a thread instead of showing them as disparate responses.
This news is courtesy of Wabetainfo, which detected the function in Beta 2.25.7.7 WhatsApp for Android. These betas generally offer a strong indication of the characteristics that users can expect to see in future WhatsApp updates.
Indeed, this new feature seems to be an easy way to track messages that relate to each other.
Currently, WhatsApp only allows users to respond to a single message in isolation. Yes, like me, you have friends who seem to discuss multiple topics at the same time, and you are like me and ask many questions or think about those different topics, then monitoring particular elements of a WhatsApp valve chat can be a nightmare.
So, what may seem like a small update to WhatsApp could be a gift from heaven for people like me. It is also gratifying that WhatsApp is looking at a characteristic that has a tangible use of the real world, instead of adding generative elements to Emojis Smoosh together or changing the tone of a message: the tone never communicates well in the text anyway.
Stop me if you have heard this before, since iPhone users will be familiar with messages of message in the predetermined messages on iOS. But Apple’s implementation is not perfect, so if WhatsApp can create a more elegant shot, then I am in favor.
Exactly when this thread function will really extend to WhatsApp users it is not clear. It may appear soon, or you could take some more updates for WhatsApp to do it well and work without problems in Android and iOS.
For now, it is a case of seeing this space, but I am crossing the fingers that the update will come sooner rather than later, before certain friends go crazy with too many points and subjects crowded in an explosion of messages.
