WABetaInfo announced that they are working on a new feature for group chats, with a post they shared on their blog today. This innovation will be very functional, especially for WhatsApp users who do not like to save every number or are lazy. So, what is the innovation shared by WABetaInfo? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
WhatsApp will show people’s profile photo in group chats!
According to the news shared by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will now include the profile photo of people in group chats. Profile photos that will take place in groups will be located on the left side of the message bubbles. People who do not use a profile photo or photos that are not visible for privacy reasons will appear with the default profile icon. Additionally, the profile icons will be the same color as the name.

WhatsApp believes this feature will prevent the confusion created by anonymous people. In addition, WhatsApp users who do not like to save numbers will easily understand who sent which message without looking at the name. The profile photo feature for WhatsApp groups is currently in the testing phase. It is unclear for now when the innovation will come to the stable version.
WABetaInfo also announced that it will bring the Blur Tool recently. Thanks to the Blur Tool, users will be able to quickly censor photos by editing them with private or sensitive content. However, we must reiterate that the display of the profile photo in chats is only tested for group chats. Such a feature for individual chats is not available for now.
WhatsApp frequently brings new features and makes improvements to improve the user experience. Meta recently announced in its third quarter report of 2022 that the number of monthly active users of the application is 3.71 billion worldwide. With this number, WhatsApp separated from its competitors and took the lead.
