The messenger from Meta has launched a new function in a beta version. WhatsApp could soon suggest neighbors to chat with.
Kassel – Updates on WhatsApp are nothing new. The latest WhatsApp beta version for Android should now bring with it an exciting innovation in the chat area. With the feature, the short message service wants to ensure more communication among users. Most recently, WhatsApp advised its users about an important function.
Outlook for future communication trends: Contacts are suggested to facilitate new conversations
The current WhatsApp beta version 2.24.7.23 for Android contains information from WABetaInfo a new feature introduced. The messenger plans to suggest new contacts to its users with whom they can chat. This step is intended to help intensify communication and promote interaction between users.
But what exactly is behind it? The new feature is intended to enable users to have contacts suggested in the chat list with whom they may not have previously been in contact. This feature is intended to make it easier to initiate new conversations. It is also intended to promote exchanges with friends and people with whom there has been no interaction before. But the question is: Which contacts are suddenly suggested in the chat list?
WhatsApp innovation: New feature suggests communication with other users
The answer: Contacts that users have previously saved in their contact or address book but have not integrated into WhatsApp. This can have various reasons. On the one hand, users’ professional and private contacts are usually strictly separated. On the other hand, you also have contacts in your address book that you actually have nothing to do with in real life. This ranges from the pizza delivery service to the plumber or doctor to the neighbor.
New WhatsApp beta version for more communication: Waiting for availability
With this new feature, WhatsApp plans to lower the barrier to contact and strengthen the connection between users. In particular, people who have previously been hesitant to start new chats or get in touch with new contacts should also be informed WABetaInfo about the backgrounds.
In other words: WhatsApp users who are more introverted should be lured out of their reserve a little. How well the new feature will ultimately be received by end users remains to be seen. The feature is currently still in the development phase, and it is initially unclear when exactly the new WhatsApp update will be available on WhatsApp users’ Android devices. However, many users’ views suddenly changed anyway. (ls)
