The news does not stop reaching the instant messaging services. Especially to WhatsApp, one of the largest platforms used by billions of users a day. A few weeks ago, the CEO of the company Mark Zuckerberg announced that they were working on an app for the iPad and other devices that will arrive soon. But such developments are hardly plausible until they materialize. For that we have the betas of the WhatsApp versions that are analyzed by different developers. In the last beta it has been discovered a new concept of archived chats, similar to Android, coming to iOS in the coming weeks.
This will be the future archived WhatsApp chats
The archived chats They came to WhatsApp for a long time with the aim of trying to clean the inbox to keep those important chats for the user. The current operation of these chats is very simple. When we want to delete a chat from the main tray without deleting its content, we can archive it in a parallel tray that we can easily access. The moment that person talks to us again or we have new messages in the archived groups, the chat will appear again in our main tray.
However, the concept of archived WhatsApp chats is going to change. Thanks to the boys and girls of WABetaInfo we can see how these chats are organized in the application. This version will allow the user modify archived chat settings with a new option: "Keep chats archived". This feature will allow users keep chats in the archive tray even when there are new messages.
This new option induces new changes in the way of notifying messages. Among these novelties is the presence of the archived tray always on the screen at the top in which the number of unread chats are shown and, finally, whether or not we have mentions with an "@" next to the number of chats to read.
This function is already in testing through TestFlight and WhatsApp beta testers and it will reach users soon, although this option has not been officially announced from Facebook. As well as they have not set a date for the arrival of the version to the App Store.
