WhatsApp group chats will receive an update where profile pictures of people speaking will appear inside the chat window. WABetaInfo suggested that this new feature will come with WhatsApp Beta for iOS 22.18.0.72.
This new feature cannot be turned off and all it does is display the profile picture next to the message of the person who is messaging the group. According to leaked news, when this feature is added, the WhatsApp interface will resemble iMessage, Messenger and Instagram Direct.
In addition to this new feature, it seems that there will be a few other minor additions to group chats. These include getting back deleted messages and group admins being able to delete unwanted messages from the chat history. After a message has been deleted, the text “this message has been deleted” still appears where it is.
