WhatsApp tests a new function to archive conversations

Although WhatsApp confirmed to be actively working on the feature calls for your messaging application, little by little they are discovering new features that could be in the offing of this tool. And it is that being the most widely used and extended messaging application carries a great responsibility to not lose its crown That is why it continues experimenting with new and useful options for your users.The last to appear is the possibility to archive conversations or chats

The discovery comes from the recent update that WhatsApp has released on version beta of your application for the platform Android A version that can be freely accessed through your page web, although it functions as an experiment or testing ground to test what will later reach the entire user community, or No. In it appears this new feature that seeks the user comfort by being able to lose sight of those conversations that it is not interesting to always have at hand , but ones you don't want to do without entirely.

And the fact is that archiving conversations follows the formula known by users of Gmail email and many other similar services.Thus, when archiving an email, or in this case an entire conversation, the user loses sight of that content that disappears from the inbox or the Chats screen. However, all your messages sent and received with that person or group of users, if it is a group conversation, are still present in another section of the application. In this way, the chat screen can be rearranged only with the conversations that really interest, which are currentand that you want to keep always available for quick access.

At the moment this is a test function, that is why it is still incomplete Thus, the user is able to make a long press on any of the conversations on the screen Chats and select the Archive optionWith this, the conversation disappears from this screen. The problem is that there is still no new menu to consult all those archived conversations, so this function is considered little more than an experiment at the moment.

A feature that could be very useful for users of WhatsApp And it is especially convenient to avoid having a screen of chats full of conversations that have not been participated in for a long time. Thus, instead of leaving them forgotten indefinitely and occupying this space at the bottom of the screen, they can be collected in a separate section. However WhatsApp still does not seem to have completely solved the equation in its version beta or tests, so there will be wait to know all the details of this functionality.

The new version of WhatsApp is available for download through the web page However, this is a version of tests, so the responsibility for installing it falls on each user. At the moment the function archive conversation seems incomplete but functional. We will have to wait for a version update for Google Play or App Store and see if they finally decide to include this feature.
