San Francisco: According to reports, WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is developing a new feature that will let users pin messages inside both chats and groups.
According to WABetaInfo, the feature is helpful because it will let users pin crucial messages to the top of the chat.
The app will display a message in the discussion asking the receiver to update to the most recent version offered in the store if a message is pinned and the recipient is using an older version of the application.
Moreover, pinned messages will improve organisation in the groups which receive a lot of messages, by allowing users to easily access important messages.
The ability to pin messages within chats and groups is currently under development and is expected to be released in a future update of the application, the report said.
On Thursday, it was reported that the messaging platform was working on a new feature which will allow users to create calling shortcuts.
The feature will be helpful for users who frequently make calls to the same person and do not want to go through the same process again and again, that is, opening the application and searching for the contact every time.
