WhatsApp working on new feature to recommend contacts for initiating new conversations
WhatsApp has added a new section in the chats list to help users suggest contacts to initiate new conversations. The latest feature is currently available on WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.9.5 update, which is available on the Google Play Store.
According to a report by WEBetaInfo, WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.9.5 update is rolling out a new feature to suggest contacts to users they haven’t communicated with. As per the screenshot shared by the publication, the new update will create a new section in the chat list. This new section will suggest new contacts from the chats list to start a new conversation.
The new feature will be added to the bottom of the chats list and will provide users with convenient access to potential new chats without disrupting the existing order. This feature aims to generate new connections and interactions. It is worth noting that these suggestions are also presented to new users during their initial registration with WhatsApp. This enhances the process of establishing connections right from the beginning.
It is uncertain when WhatsApp plans to release this feature to the public. However, since it is currently in the beta stage, it is expected to be included in the stable version of the app in the next few weeks or months.
