WhatsApp may be gearing up to ruin part of the experience by introducing ads in Status, the messaging giant, however, also continually keeps adding handy new features to the app to enhance the user experience. The latest feature to show up in the WhatsApp beta on Android is the option to send ‘private replies’ to users from within a group chat.
Note: We tried out this feature using WhatsApp beta (version 2.18.336) on the Nokia 7 Plus, running Android 9 Pie.
Here, tapping the quoted message will take the recipient back to the group chat to help them better understand the context of the private reply. This feature will certainly come handy for users who are hesitant in voicing their views in a group conversation, but still want to air their views
