New Delhi: Meta-owned instant messaging app, WhatsApp is currently working on some exciting new features for its users.
These features are ‘message yourself’ and ‘display of profile photos in group chats’. While the ‘message yourself’ feature will allow a user to message oneself, ‘display of profile photos in group chats’ will show the user’s WhatsApp profile DP (display photo) in chats whenever they will message in a group chat.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is rolling out the ‘message with yourself’ feature to some beta testers. It’s noteworthy to mention that it was always possible to send messages to your own phone number but for that, users had to save their number and then click on WhatsApp in the phone contacts.
WhatsApp is also working to bring profile photos of group participants next to their chat bubbles in a group chat. WhatsApp is releasing this feature to some beta testers. Once this feature is rolled out for the public, they will be able to see the DP of the message sender in the chat bubble.
