is working on a new feature for its
Windows users
. As reported by
WABetaInfo
, the
instant messaging app
is developing a pop-out chat feature for its Windows users.
The WhatsApp
pop-chat feature
is available for some beta testers and can be accessed in update version 2.2407.9.0. A feature named "Pop-out chat" has been introduced in the chat options.
This feature allows users to detach individual chat windows from the main WhatsApp interface, converting them into standalone, resizable windows that can be placed anywhere on the desktop. This enables users to participate in multiple conversations simultaneously without the necessity of constantly switching between them within the main app.
“This feature enhances communication and significantly boosts productivity, particularly for users who manage numerous conversations throughout the day or need to read more chats at once. In addition, for users collaborating on projects or coordinating group activities, we believe that this feature may further facilitate communication by providing a dedicated window for each conversation,” mentions the report.
WhatsApp now allow users to search messages by date
WhatsApp has revealed the rollout of the "search by date" feature for personal and group chats on Android devices. This functionality, previously accessible on other platforms such as iOS, Mac desktop, and WhatsApp Web, enables users to search for a specific message, photo, or video sent on a particular date. Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder and CEO of Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced this update on his WhatsApp channel.
“When you realize you've got the perfect response in an old chat…” he said, sharing a video of him searching for an old chat about Karaoke. “Credit to WhatsApp's new search by date feature,” he added.
