WhatsApp Testing 'Read Later' Feature That Will Replace Archive Option, New Wallpapers Coming Soon

News 18  

WhatsApp is adding 32 new bright and 29 new dark wallpapers to its beta platform for Android devices. Besides, the Facebook-owned platform is also said to be working on a ‘Read Later’ feature on WhatsApp beta for iOS v2.20.130.16, that was first spotted on WhatsApp beta for Android last week. The new wallpapers feature was spotted on WhatsApp beta for iOS v2.20.120.19 in October and is expected to reach WhatsApp Web beta soon. WABetaInfo explains that Read Later would replace the Archived Chats option and it essentially stops notifications from chats that are archived or in this case “read later.” The beta version on iOS also has a settings option where users can change how archived chats work. Meanwhile, the Facebook-owned WhatsApp recently rolled out a new update for the beta version of the app for Android, that allows users to mute videos before sending them, a feature similar to other social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter.
