WhatsApp has launched a new feature related to reminder notifications for status updates. With this feature, users can now receive periodic reminders when a new status update is shared with contacts in their favorites list or those they frequently communicate with.
Recently, WhatsApp has been focusing on enhancing features that prioritize updates, helping users stay connected with their friends and family and keeping track of important content. Thanks to this new feature, users now have more control over when they receive notifications.
WhatsApp Status Update Reminder Feature
According to WABetaInfo, the new feature aims to improve the status update notification system. WhatsApp is currently developing a beta version of this feature for Android version 2.25.22.10. The feature involves sending users notifications when specific contacts share new status updates.
Currently, WhatsApp is testing the possibility of allowing users to manually choose to receive a notification every time a specific contact posts a new status update. This gives users greater control over their notification preferences, allowing them to follow updates from friends, family, or other important contacts.
How to Activate WhatsApp Status Update Notifications
WhatsApp enables users to activate this new feature from the status update screen, using a dedicated option to control notifications for the contacts they view. Once activated, the following happens:
-
WhatsApp will send an immediate notification whenever that contact adds a new status update.
-
The notification will include the contact's name and profile picture.
-
It makes it easier for users to know who posted new content without opening the app.
It's important to note that if users decide they no longer want to receive notifications from a particular contact, they can simply mute the notifications for that contact. WhatsApp also provides the option to activate status update notifications privately, meaning the contact will not be notified that someone has chosen to receive notifications for their status activity, further supporting privacy.
