WhatsApp Is Testing Threaded Replies : Here's How To Use It

WhatsApp for Android Testing Threads, Now Easier Group Chat Organisation

No digital platform can think of growing further if it does not acknowledge the need to upgrade itself. There is a need to improve all the time, or else the concerned platform may end up facing an existential threat. No digital platform would like to stare at such a precarious situation, and neither does WhatsApp. In its urge and quest to hold on to its position, WhatsApp is keen enough to make things more sturdy and add new features. This is the best way to retain the existing users and add new consumers/ users in the process. The latest in this connection is likely to be a new feature that is under test. This feature will enable you to arrange some conversations automatically.

You may be wondering what prompted WhatsApp to seriously contemplate the idea of testing such a feature. You see, the app does have a minimal-looking chat interface. Therefore, it is not easy to keep up with conversations in an active group or, for that matter, an individual conversation. If the report of WABetaInfo is something to go by, then WhatsApp is testing a feature that will help organise message replies into threaded conversations.

WhatsApp’s Threaded Replies are coming soon: Now You Can Say Goodbye ...

Surely it is evident that this feature has been necessitated by the requirement to make it easier for users to find the relevant reply. Obviously, this will keep the users highly engaged in group discussion in particular. This is going to be another innovative move to keep the users more engaged in this platform.

Can this facility be accessed now? This feature pertaining to threaded conversations has been made available on the latest edition of WhatsApp beta for Android. If you wish, you can download it from the Google Play Store.

When users decide to open a thread, they will view a complete overview of all the replies to a conversation, and then they can reply with more messages to the thread. This reply will be marked as a “follow-up reply”, but the label won’t be visible to all users who are currently getting the feature. The thread will be created only for features enabled, which goes on to reflect that not all the conversations will be arranged neatly by default. This is another point worth keeping in mind.

The best part about this is that anyone can dive into the conversation. There is absolutely no need, as such, to go through the process by virtue of which one can link with past processes. The product is currently in the testing phase, so it may take some time, which could be anywhere between a few weeks and months, before it is officially released for general public use. Still, as and when it is made functional, it will surely be a feature that will be quite popular among the users.

Conclusion

As we have witnessed in this article, WhatsApp is constantly looking for avenues to improve its platform. This is significant given the fierce competition visible in the digital world. The users get fascinated if provided with the latest features, so this need cannot be undermined.
