A new Whatsapp feature aims to streamline messaging capabilities for users, and allows them to pin chats so they can stay at the top of the page -- instead of scrolling to the bottom every time a new message is sent, or received. This implementation will essentially allow Whatsapp users to bookmark their place in a group chat, allowing for easier, and cleaner access to messages.
Most messaging app users know that being in a group chat can get hectic, especially if more than one person is typing. From different conversations to shifting topics, it can be hard to keep up with every message that comes through. This new Whatsapp feature aims to combat the reoccurring issue, and hopes to help users manage their chats more effectively.
The new app update is still undergoing testing and is set to be available to users in the near future.
