WhatsApp Introduces Message Reminders for Prioritized Contacts
WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature to beta testers that aims to improve message management. The feature is currently available on the latest beta version of the app for Android. It allows users to receive reminders for both messages and status updates.
Prioritized Reminders
The update to the Reminders feature is found under Settings > Notifications > Reminders. It indicates that WhatsApp will selectively send notifications for messages from prioritized contacts. The exact algorithm used to determine which contacts are prioritized remains unclear.
Enhanced Notification Experience
The feature is still in beta testing and not widely available. It offers a potential solution for users who often miss important messages or status updates. By prioritizing notifications, WhatsApp aims to streamline the user experience and reduce information overload.
The full extent of the Reminders feature is yet to be fully revealed. This includes its compatibility with different message types and customization options. As the feature continues to roll out to a wider audience, more details about its functionality are expected to emerge.
