Quite often, our precious WhatsApp conversations are lost amid other irrelevant discussions. We ended up sifting through the mess to find the one we were looking for. WhatsApp has realized all that waste of time! The new feature, Message Threads, is coming up soon to relieve us from constant exploration.
WhatsApp Message Threads allow;
- A better conversation management
- Through this feature, users will be able to group replies to specific messages into dedicated threads.
- It will be available for one-to-one chats, groups, and communities; however, the availability of this feature in channels is still under development.
Although no official release date has been announced yet, WhatsApp is in beta testing. As always, WhatsApp’s continuous improvements to its messaging application are cherished and appreciated by its loyal users. The feature appeared in WhatsApp beta for the Android 2.25.7.7 update, as reported by WABetaInfo in their latest article.
As per the above screenshot, WhatsApp is working on enabling this feature that will allow users to follow messages in an organized and cohesive thread.
As mentioned by WABetaInfo,
“This new feature will group all related replies directly under the original message, making it significantly easier to track ongoing conversations and discussions without the confusion of disjointed replies scattered throughout the chat. Once a user replies to a quoted message, the thread will remain connected to the original message, ensuring that all responses stay organized.”
Hence, this feature will make it easier to follow the dedicated threads in structured conversations. It is especially useful in group chats, where long discussions quickly add up and important messages are lost. So, instead of going through all the chat history and searching for specific information, users can easily navigate through threads to focus on relevant conversations. It is a highly commendable feature and will surely be appreciated by the WhatsApp community.
Notably, in February 2025, WhatsApp came up with a lot of many features, enhancing the message application with every single update. The list is long, including;
- Colorful Chat Themes: Users can apply colorful themes to the chat screen. Twenty color options and twenty new wallpapers are available.
- Unread Chat Counters: Users can see a count of unread messages in their specific filters
- Playback Speed in Videos: Yes, like YouTube, you can now speed up your video to 1.5x and 2x, which is quite handy for boring content.
- Meta AI Home Screen Widget: This is only available on Android. Users can put their favorite bot as a widget on their home screen, and Voila!
Many other features make WhatsApp highly efficient for its 2 billion users worldwide. Well done, WhatsApp!
