WhatsApp Will Soon Show Your Profile Info Within Chats: What It Means

The Meta-owned popular instant messaging application WhatsApp is reportedly developing a feature that will display profile information within chats. This profile information will be visible even when the contact is offline, alternating with the last seen if it’s available.

“Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.25.11 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on showing the profile info in our conversations,” WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp, reported.

The report suggested that the initiative to enhance visibility of the profile info in conversations underscores WhatsApp’s responsiveness to user feedback and preferences. Over the years, numerous users have shared their feedback to request the introduction of a similar feature, and the instant messaging app is finally enhancing the overall user experience.

“We believe that making the profile information visible in our conversations provides users with a more accessible and immediate way to engage with this information,” said WABetaInfo.

As per the report, users will soon have the convenience of viewing profile information directly within a chat, eliminating the need to navigate to the chat info screen.

This enhancement ensures quick visibility, particularly when someone has recently updated their profile details, allowing others in the conversation to stay promptly informed of any changes. It’s worth noting that this information will only be visible based on the user’s privacy settings.

The feature is currently in development and is expected to be included in a future app update.

WhatsApp is also planning to roll out a new feature to allow channel owners to request a review for their suspended channel. This enhancement will make the process more transparent as channel owners will be able to seek clarification and address any potential violations more effectively.

This additional layer of information not only improves the review process but also provides valuable insights for WhatsApp moderators, facilitating a quicker and more accurate assessment of the situation.
