WhatsApp has announced the introduction of a new functionality that enhances the user experience by simplifying the addition of new members to a group chat.
WaBetaInfo announced on Twitter the update will be dispatched via the Google Play Beta Program, upgrading the application to version 2.23.16.10. As of now, select beta testers have had the opportunity to experiment with this latest feature, which is expected to be rolled out to a broader user base in the coming days.
Streamlining the User Experience
The innovative feature optimizes user convenience by enabling the direct addition of new members from the group chat screen. It manifests as a banner suggesting users invite more participants to the group. The key advantage of this tool is its time efficiency, doing away with the need to delve into group settings to invite additional members.
Per WaBetaInfo, users can easily invite more participants by tapping this new banner, provided the group settings permit such action. This feature may not be considered crucial, but it enhances user convenience by speeding up a basic yet frequently employed task.
Moreover, this feature also acts as a prompt, reminding users to involve new participants in the group discussion. This handy tool is accessible to those who install the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android from the Google Play Store.
