WhatsApp is developing a new group function – with major consequences

WhatsApp is becoming more and more extensive. Messenger still gets features that seem more or less useful. Now the group function should be expanded. You will soon be able to leave a group unnoticed, but you will still leave your mark.

WhatsApp shows former group participants

It was only recently announced that WhatsApp will introduce a feature that will allow you to leave groups unnoticed. Apparently WhatsApp is working on further innovations for group chats. In the future you will understand who was once in a group. Participants should be loud WABetaInfo displayed where you can see the current group members. A new option will appear at the bottom, where you can then look at the list of “Alumni”.

The function is still in development, but it is already raising questions for us. On the one hand, WhatsApp wants to avoid showing you up in the group when you leave that group, on the other hand the messenger now gets a log about it, who was in the group and left it. Actually, there should be a function where you can avoid that.

After all, according to WhatsApp, data protection is very important and such a protocol would be very transparent, but also somehow very unusual. Then currently every member can see the list. It would be better if the function was limited to administrators.

WhatsApp collects new group functions

WhatsApp recently introduced many innovations for voice messages. It is quite possible that, like back then, many innovations for group chats will be collected and then published together. Bundling would make WhatsApp’s group function much better in one go, instead of always improving or introducing individual functions.
