For a long time now the State updates on WhatsApp They have an ever -growing success among users: for this reason the destiners of Meta are developing a new function that shows which users have recently displayed an update and the related settings on privacy.
What it is about
In the near future, a rapid preview of some contacts will be available that displayed the state as explained by the experts of Wabetainfo: In doing so, it will not be necessary to open the list where the complete roundup of the viewers is located. Just as it already works on Instagram, “Recent viewers will be shown how small profile icons at the bottom of the screen, together with the number of contacts that displayed the status update. This approach will provide users with an immediate vision of those who have displayed their update, providing a clearer sense of involvement with their content “.
What changes
In this way, therefore, users will be able to view recent activities on their updates faster and efficiently seeing immediately who took part in the information published on WhatsApp. Another of the reasons for this new function certainly concerns greater involvement and greater visual interaction. “The interface should remain clean and simple, with the icons that clearly indicate the viewers in a compact layout “, They added the experts.
The news on privacy
Directly connected to the news on state updates, WhatsApp intends to make visible the Privacy Settings Used for each update. Since, very often, a specific audience is chosen for a certain type of state update compared to another, often one could forget who has been included in a state and who not. With the next function, therefore, users can remember the selected people much more easily. “By showing the privacy settings directly next to each update, users will have a clear overview of their sharing options, as well as a rapid confirmation of those who can view each state “, underlines Wabetainfo.
The best was designed to avoid confusion especially when dealing with multiple groups of people or different contacts but also to make the most transparent privacy settings with greater help in the methods of sharing their updates.
Those who ask when all this is available to the general public will have to be patient for a few more months: at this moment you are in the development phase, then it will be the turn of the beta testers and finally the release to everyone with the periodic updates of WhatsApp.
