This is the new WhatsApp feature that will show who was online recently

Becoming one of the most popular platforms in the world, WhatsApp must always be changing to offer something new and entertaining functions to its millions of users.

Now the messaging app Meta is planning a new tool that probably won’t be to everyone’s taste, since it’s tied to activity on WhatsApp.

This is an update that will allow display in order the contacts who were online recently which reveals the last time they were interacting in the app.

As he advanced WABetaInfo a site specialized in the latest news from the messaging network, at the moment the update is only available in the beta version of WhatsApp on Android and iOS, although in the future it could be added for the rest of users .

And how does it work ? Every time a new chat is opened in the app, the phrase “Recently online” will be displayed on the screen. where you will see the last two contacts who were interacting on WhatsApp during that day.

The idea of ​​this tool is to facilitate the process of starting new conversations or calls, given that it only reports the last connected users.

One thing to take into consideration is that the messaging network has tried to guarantee user privacy with this measure, since it will only apply to those whose last connection is activated on WhatsApp.

Therefore, those who want to continue hiding the moments they enter the social network should not worry.

It is worth remembering that, through its beta version, WhatsApp is experimenting with tools of all kinds and users who have them can witness this. Some of them pass the test and end up being added to the official network version, while others are permanently removed.
