Message threads arrive on WhatsApp
WhatsApp is working on a functionality that will bring together responses to specific messages in a thread, which facilitates conversations monitoring. Instead of scrolling cats to see individual responses dispersed, the functionality will create a dedicated view showing each cited message that connects to the original message that has started the thread, helping users find specific answers and easily navigate on long and disorderly conversations.
A screenshot of the preview Plate Managed to execute gives us an idea of what the threaded messages will look like once the functionality is deployed, showing a full screen context displaying answers that have been sent by several users in a group discussion. Users can press any message cited to display all the answers in this channel, although the original message that is replied will not appear in the threaded view.
There is no indication of the moment when message threads will generally be available for all WhatsApp users. We asked WhatsApp more information and update this story if we hear.
This is a fairly major change, and welcome to anyone use WhatsApp to organize and make plans with large groups of people, or frequently use the search function to resurface the responses of older messages.
