WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is reportedly working on a new history-sharing feature for new group participants on Android beta.
WhatsApp is expected to add a new setting for groups called ‘Recent History Sharing’ for this feature, according to IANS.
The feature will automatically share group messages 24 hours before a new user joins. Once available, this option will only be available to group administrators.
Users will be able to read messages that were shared before they joined the group, which will help them understand the context of the new messages.
According to the report, the recent history-sharing feature is currently in development and will be included in a future app update.
Last week, it was reported that the messaging platform had begun to roll out a feature on Android beta that allows users to create and share AI stickers.
