The social media giant Facebook owned messaging platform, WhatsApp has introduced a number of new features recently for its all users. Now they are going to introduce a new ‘Mark as Read’ feature that will allow the users to mark a message from the notification panel itself. Along with this another feature that allow the users to mute a chat from the notification centre is may also been introduced.
The ‘Mark as Read’ shortcut was spotted in WhatsApp Android beta version 2.18.214. Since the feature is currently under development the beta testers might not be able to access it. These new ‘Mark as read’ feature will allow users to mark a message as read directly from the notifications centre without even opening the chat or the app.
The mute option, meanwhile, will allow the users to mute a chat directly from the notification panel without opening the WhatsApp app. If these two features are made available for the users, the notification panel on your phone might get a new look after this update. These features are expected to be made available to beta testers soon which is followed by a public roll out.
