WhatsApp Brings Read All Messages Feature; Here’s How It Works
If you’re an active WhatsApp user, you will know that the unread anxiety is all too real. With those chats piling up, it’s understandable that you fail to tend to all of them. Now, WhatsApp is testing out a new feature in beta, which will allow users to mark all chats as read in one go.
According toWABetaInfo, the new Read All feature has been spotted in theWhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.20.19. Moreover, the feature can easily be accessed and used in a few taps. We have been able to get our hands on the feature on WhatsApp’s Android beta, and here’s how it works:
With that, all your unread chats on WhatsApp will be marked as read instantly. However, do note that the feature islimited to Android beta testers of WhatsAppright now. But, going by WhatsApp’s track record, iOS users can expect to get the feature soon.
The Read All messages feature on WhatsApp is pretty convenient for those who receive a tad too many group messages or have a huge number of contacts on the platform. So, understandably, these users have it worse and are seeing more unread messages than others.
During our testing, we also noticed that theArchived chats with unread messages are not affected by the feature. So, if you want to save some particular unread messages to get back to them later, you can simply archive them on WhatsApp before marking all chats as read. So, that’s a nifty little trick.
It goes without saying that this is definitely a quality-of-life feature that lets users manage their WhatsApp chats better.
