The WhatsApp messaging application prepares new functions for its app. Thus, it is currently testing the possibility of completely hide updates in the states by accounts that have been silenced by the user.
This was noted by several portals, where it was announced that this feature is available in the new beta version 2.19.260 of WhatsApp for the Android operating system, which also included other news related to the Facebook Pay payment service and its arrival in Mexico.
Previously, it was not possible to hide the states definitely even if they were silenced, but the updates of these accounts in the form of states were still shown at the end of the feed and shaded in gray.
It is possible to silence the states of another account within each of the states, by clicking on the “Options” icon with three-dots inside.
The new function that is present in the beta for WhatsApp testers allows to completely hide updates in the states of the users that have been silenced, so that they are not shown by default, unless the user displays the option of ‘ silencedupdates‘.
