A useful new tool that WhatsApp is testing right now is message reminders, which alert users to unread messages in chats.

The Google Play Beta Program allows users to download the most recent beta version of the app for Android (2.24.25.29), which includes the feature.

It will initially be made available to a small number of beta testers before being made available to the general public in the days ahead.

An expansion of notifications for status updates

  • A prior version that provided reminder notifications for status updates is expanded upon by the message reminders function.
  • Without constantly checking the app, users were able to stay up to current on pertinent status updates from their contacts.
  • By incorporating chat messages into the mix, the new functionality aims to enhance this system and ensure that users don’t miss any crucial talks.

How does the new feature work?

  • Users will be notified by the message reminders feature of unread messages from specific contacts, chosen by an internal algorithm based on how often you communicate with them.
  • This implies that WhatsApp may alert you to an overlooked message if you often communicate with a specific contact but have neglected to read it due to other conversations.
  • The goal is to maintain the discussion and avoid missing any crucial points.

Notification frequency and user experience

  • Reminders for unread messages, particularly from contacts you frequently communicate with, will be sent once the feature is enabled.
  • However, because WhatsApp doesn’t want to overburden you with notifications, these reminders will be fairly infrequent.
  • By doing this, it can guarantee that alerts are pertinent and unobtrusive, enhancing the platform’s overall user experience.
