O WhatsApp is exploring new horizons with feature tests that could revolutionize the way we interact with the application.

One of these new features includes a feature that allows users to see which contacts have been online recently or are currently active.

New WhatsApp update: what changes?

Still in the testing phase, the tool proves useful for those who want to maintain stricter control over their interactions within the application.

According to information from WaBetainfo, the functionality is being tested in a specific section of the app, facilitating quick and direct access.

Imagine being able to check, in real time, whether that important contact has viewed your message or is available to chat.

This transparency could be a game-changer in the way we manage our digital conversations.

Will the new tool change the dynamics of the application?

The new feature not only allows you to check who is online, but also suggests contacts to start a conversation.

This can be especially advantageous for reactivating old conversations or keeping communication flowing with important people.

Privacy is still a priority

Despite the news, WhatsApp continues its commitment to offering robust privacy options.

Users who prefer not to disclose their online status can easily adjust their privacy settings, choosing who can see if they are online or when they last accessed the app.

1. Tap the ‘three dots’ icon in the corner of the screen;

2. Access ‘Settings’ and then ‘Privacy’;

3. Select ‘Last seen and online’;

4. Adjust who can see your status to your preference.

When will the new functionality be available?

Although it is still in the testing phase, the expectation is that this new tool will be integrated into the next updates of the applicationbased on feedback from beta users and assessment of its functionality and impact on the overall user experience.

The inclusion of this tool points to a growing trend of applications that seek to offer not only means of communication, but functionalities that provide more effective control and management of our online presence.

Remembering: all privacy settings can be customized to meet each user’s needs, protecting their privacy while taking advantage of new features.
