In this sense, they are now working on a series of novelties related to group chats and the way in which how one can distinguish all its participants. What is it about? In this note we tell you.

According to WABetaInfo, version 2.23.5.12 of the WhatsApp beta for Android incorporates the change with which stop seeing phone numbers in groups. Thanks to this, it will be possible to quickly identify who are the individuals who send messages even if you do not have them added to your calendar.

It is important to specify that the user’s name will be visible in the chronological list of chats and in the register of group participants.

The modification of the app for mobile devices will be very useful in massive group conversations, since the task of user recognition is complicated there. Also, it is useful if you are not interested in saving the person just to know their identity.
