WhatsApp is often seen experimenting with new features as part of its beta program and more often than not, these changes become official. The messaging platform is now testing a new visual change, which will show users’ profile photos in groups.
WABetaInfo reveals that WhatsApp is testing the ability to show profile photos of participants within groups on its Desktop client. This comes after it started testing the same feature for its iOS beta version. With this, a group chat will now showcase the DP of a person alongside the name in a message bubble.
This will be similar to how WhatsApp started showing the DP of a person in notifications for people to easily differentiate the WhatsApp notifications from others or even another WhatsApp notification from a different person.
Meanwhile, WhatsApp is planning to add an image blur tool, which will help users blur out sensitive information. It is also considering adding the ability to forward photos, videos, and more with a caption.
