WhatsApp is now focusing on offering contemporary upgrades for desktop users in preparation for the next changes, according to the company.
Whatsapp users are well aware of the compatibility problem with several devices; for example, users on the desktop cannot pin conversations to the top of the screen at the moment. However, this will no longer be the case as the platform will soon release some useful upgrades that will address these concerns.
According to WABI, one will soon be able to pin fresh chats to the top of the list, and it will be automatically saved to one's account, regardless of whether the device is online or not.
If one's device is still displaying the message that pinning conversations is not functional for multi-device, this indicates that the account is not yet inclined to support this functionality, and one will have to patiently wait.
This most current option is being sent out in small batches to certain beta testers by the platform.
According to reports, the corporation has also been working on strengthening privacy options for desktop users as well. According to WABetainfo, the firm has been working hard to enhance the desktop platform ever since the debut of multiple device functionality. Currently, the company is proposing several improvements and additions that are still in the development phase.
The privacy settings cannot be managed from the desktop at this time; instead, one must download the app on their phone to change the information that is made visible to others.
Despite the implementation of the multi-device capability, users are unable to change their last seen visibility settings or put up profile photographs from their desktops before this time.
Noticing that multi-device is pushing the desktop to become less dependant on the phone, the business is presently working on giving the much-needed alternatives to the platform. When the changes are fully functioning, you will be able to customize your privacy settings under WhatsApp's desktop settings.
The read receipts option would also be accessible on the desktop, allowing users to activate or disable it.
In addition to these features, the privacy settings option will provide users control over their information, status, group settings, and many other aspects of their accounts.
In other words, it's possible that all of these useful improvements on the desktop will not be included in a single update.
The platform has recently introduced its desktop beta program for desktop users to evaluate the features before it officially makes them available to the general public, and if one has already registered for it, there is a possibility that one will be able to have an opportunity to evaluate this feature before it is submitted for final approval.
