The Covid-19 pandemic has led to Whatsapp to explore features to improve your experience chat groupswhich materialized with the appearance of communities, which can accommodate up to 1,024 people.
There are many people who, as soon as they are moderately active in chat, can be a increase in notifications which result in a headache.
While it’s within your reach to configure notifications or archive chats, notifications in large groups can be a real pain. Because of this, WhatsApp promises substantial changes to the default settings.
You can always enter the notification settings of the group or application and even change them, although now the messaging service itself will automatically mute groups with more than 256 participantsin case the user hasn’t done it before.
According to WABetainfo, the app will display a warning message stating that “the group has more than 256 participants and has been deactivated to reduce notifications”. From this same notice the user has the power to enable notifications again if desired.
This novelty will land on iOS and Android for users of versions 2.22.24.15 beta and later, although it could also be activated with some previous versions.
Those who are part of large groups and do not yet have the function active can always choose to mute the group manually.
WhatsApp works in “Do not disturb” mode.
In the quest to improve the digital wellbeing between the user and their relationship with the messaging app, WhatsApp schedules changes so that the user does not receive calls, notifications or messages at a time when they do not want to be interrupted.
WhatsApp, in its trial version (beta), will start distinguishing between missed calls and those that the user has rejected because they had the “Do not disturb” active, with different text in the chat.
According to WABetainfo, this “Do Not Disturb” mode could also prevent WhatsApp calls from coming in, or at least make them go silently.
The latest version of WhatsApp beta for Android begins to respect the corresponding APIs and as a result, at least in some cases, will no longer activate the full screen notification when a call enters WhatsApp. If your mobile screen is locked, the user won’t even know about it.
However, the app will indicate what happened with the legend “missed call during do not disturb mode”.
It should be borne in mind that this text will only be visible to you. All tones will resound to the person who initiated the call until the call is considered missed and will appear on the mobile as No Answer, without giving a reason.
