Now when you join a WhatsApp group you don’t know what was said beforebut this may change in the near future. WaBetaInfo has found indications that group admins can choose whether to keep past messages open to new members.

Looks like the setting will be called, share recent history While it’s not live yet, we have a pretty good idea of ​​how it will work when implemented.

A day full of messages

Entering a WhatsApp group in the future will not be synonymous with a blank screen, but rather You will be synchronized with the last messages shared on the channel, so you can get the context of where you just entered. This is optional and administrators will decide whether to enable it for each group.

The name of the setting will be Share recent history and this will be really up to date: According to WaBetaInfo, Messages sent in the last 24 hours who just joined. Older messages will still not be available.

This will be very helpful to be able to position ourselves in the new group and think about what the mood is like; but it’s also something that someone in a group who isn’t yet in the group says, if you join later you can get into that person’s field of view. Of course, the one-day period of history is quite short.

For now we don’t know when WhatsApp will enable this functionality for groups, but apparently when it is active in a group you will receive the following notifications: an announcement in the group itselfThis will help you draw attention.
