One of WhatsApp strengths in recent years has been in the rhythm of development of new functions. The Meta app receives updates every very few weeks, and its developers are constantly experiencing with new functions.
Not all of these news are revolutionary, but occasionally, an update arrives that really changes things. The last function introduced in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android, and discovered by Wabetainfoit is one of the latter, and it can be just what millions of Spanish users were waiting for.
We talk about no less than Talking threadswhich will allow us to have a better context of what is being talked about in a chat room and continue a concrete conversation. Although it is still in development, what is being seen of this functionality already has the potential to completely change the way we use WhatsApp.
WhatsApp already allows you to respond to a specific message in a chat, simply keeping it pressed and clicking on the icon to respond at the top. However, that is where the conversation ends; If another person responds to our message, the initial message that began the conversation or all the others will not be displayed. As a result, Following a conversation can be complicatedespecially in chat rooms with dozens of participants; There is no choice but to look for the previous message manually.
With the new function that WhatsApp is testing, it will be possible to see these conversations in the form of a thread apart from the main chat. In the screenshots that have been published, a very simple operation is shown: we only have to click on a message that has been published in response to another, and only the messages of that conversation on a white background will be displayed.

In this way, the rest of the chat messages disappear and only the messages that are part of the thread are shown; So it is very easy to read the conversation from beginning to end without losing anything. An important detail is that, for now, these threads do not appear in the chat rooms; We have to click on a message that is an answer to another to appear, so they are not normally seen and therefore bother in the chat flow.

Obviously, this function It will be more useful in large chat rooms in which there are many participants and many messages are published consecutively; Although we suspect that it can also be a great help in smaller groups, such as those of the family or friends, to follow specific issues in a conversation.
For now, It is not clear when this functionality will arrive To all users. As usual, WhatsApp does not usually talk about the functions it is developing, because on many occasions they end up being discarded for one reason or another and do not reach the stable version of WhatsApp. But in this case, it is such a big and beneficial change, that we hope that not much to arrive.
