LEAVING WHATSAPP GROUPS SILENTLY IN FUTURE PLANS

IN A bid to make the messaging platform more user friendly, Meta-owned Whatsapp is likely working on a new feature that will allow users to silently exit groups. In a screenshot, it is shown that when users want to exit a Whatsapp group, other people will not be notified in the chat. Only group admins will be able to see who exits the group, but others do not, according to Wabetainfo. This feature is under development so it is not ready to be rolled out to beta testers. Recently, the messaging platform announced that it is rolling out new features, including emoji reactions, bigger files and the ability to add up to 512 people to a group, which has to date only allowed up to 256 people. Whatsapp said it recommends using wifi for larger files and it will display a counter while uploading or downloading.
