Popular instant messaging platform WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature providing multiple options to interact with an unsaved number in a chat.
The latest WhatsApp beta update for Android (v2.22.8.11) shows a new pop-up menu when a user taps an unsaved number in a chat.
Users have three options in the menu — chat on WhatsApp or call or add to contacts. If the unsaved number does not have a WhatsApp account, the user only gets to call or add the number to the contacts options in the menu, The Hindu reported.
The messaging platform has also enabled a new restriction when forwarding forwarded messages to group chats on WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS. It prevents users from forwarding messages to more than one group chat.
