A new WhatsApp update comes as a respite to those users who mute status updates. With the latest update, which has been rolled out to the Android users, WhatsApp hides the muted status updates. The Android beta version 2.19.260 will hide status updates until you click on it to view the muted ones.
As the name suggests the new feature comes with an ability to automatically hide all the muted updates from the status section. These updates are hidden when the user hits the hide button, which sits right next to the muted updates section within WhatsApp. To bring it back, the user needs to tap on the ‘Show’ button.
Currently, even if you have muted a status update from someone, it will still appear after you have finished looking at others. With the new beta, users can completely hide the updates and they will not appear anywhere.
Until now there is no information when the new feature for the Android application will roll out for the general public.
WhatsApp is also working on other features such as a Dark Mode, a boomerang feature, and others, which should be available in future updates. The Facebook-owned app recently added fingerprint lock feature to the Android version.
