WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature aimed at making group chats easier to follow, especially in large and active groups. The update introduces a dedicated contact info page for individual group members, helping users quickly identify who is sharing messages.
Availability
- Currently available on WhatsApp Android Beta
- Version: v2.23.12.7
- Rollout is gradual, so not all beta users may see it immediately
What the Feature Does
This update adds a contact info page for each group member, making it easier to understand who a message is coming from.
Key benefits include:
- Helps users identify senders more clearly
- Reduces confusion caused by duplicate names or numbers
- Especially useful in large group chats
How to Access It
Users can open the contact info page:
- By tapping directly on a group member’s profile icon
- Without leaving the group chat
This allows quick access to details without disrupting the conversation flow.
Why This Matters
Group chats often include:
- Members saved under similar names
- Unknown numbers
- Forwarded messages with unclear origins
This new contact info page helps bring clarity by showing relevant information about each group member in one place. It’s a small change, but one that can significantly improve day-to-day group interactions.
Rollout Status
- The feature is still under development
- Being tested with Android beta users
- Expected to reach more users in future updates
As with most WhatsApp features, wider availability will likely depend on feedback from beta testers before a stable release.
