WhatsApp Accidentally Rolled Out An Awesome Feature!
Whevener we talk about an instant messaging app, WhatsApp stands at the first. Well, there are reasons why lots of people love to use this instant messaging app. The app is frequently updated to be with the trends and demands of the users.
From past few months, we have seen the new and amazing features introduced by the WhatsApp. Well, recently it had launched a new feature which lets you delete the accidentally sent messages. Now, WhatsApp mistakenly rolled out an awesome feature that allows a user to send the message to a group participant in private.
Well, the new feature is known as “Reply Privately”. It had been rolled out mistakenly in a beta update for Windows Phone. The reason why we have labeled this feature as “accidental” because the feature was immediately removed from the beta version of WhatsApp.
The reports from @WABetaInfor confirm that the developers wrongly enabled the feature. WABetaInfo tweeted “In the new WhatsApp beta for Windows Phone 2.17.344 the private reply feature is disabled. Probably WhatsApp has wrongly enabled it in 2.17.342”. However, the feature was again enabled in the v2.17.348 beta update.

WABetaInfor says that the Private reply feature will pop up whenever user press and hold on a message during group chats. They can directly send them a private message without switching the chat box. However, the feature is still in development phase and will be rolled out with other features as well.
Earlier this month, WABetaInfo also shared some details regarding WhatsApp web version. WhatsApp Web and desktop version is about to get PIP (Picture-in-picture) mode and tap to unblock feature soon. So, what do you think about this? Share your views in the comment box below.
