Facebook Messenger Rooms, which can incorporate 50 people in a single video conference, finally made its way the company’s instant messaging application WhatsApp this week. The Messenger Rooms support is now accessible via WhatsApp on the desktop version of the app.
Mute always option:
WhatsApp is working on a new feature that might come in handy for people who are part of unwanted groups that for some reason they cannot leave. This new feature will allow users to mute groups indefinitely.
The new feature was spotted by WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp features introduced in the app’s beta version. According to the report, the new feature comes with 2.20.197.3 update. However, the feature still shows to be “under-development” and there has been no official announcement of a stable version release for the users by the company yet.
However, this week, reports poured in that the Facebook-owned messaging app is making improvements on this feature in terms of managing the settings. This includes a toggle button to turn this functionality on or off.
