WhatsApp May Replace Archived Chats Feature With Read Later, Here's What the New Section Offers

News 18  

WhatsApp is reportedly testing a new feature that would replace its Archived Chats page with ‘Read Later.’ According to WABetaInfo, the section can be spotted on the WhatsApp beta v2.20.207.2 for Android – nearly two months after it appeared on the iOS beta version. The report also contains a screenshot of the Read Later page that reads, “To reduce interruptions, chats with new messages stay here, and you won’t get any notifications.” It is currently under development, and not available to all WhatsApp beta users yet. Unlike WhatsApp Archived Chats, if a chat is hidden under the Read Later page, users would not receive any notifications from the particular chat, the report claims. WhatsApp explains that the Archived Chats feature allows users to hide an individual or group chat from the main page to better organise conversations.
