New Delhi, May 5: Meta-owned WhatsApp is reportedly working on some new features to improve the chat experience of users on the app. Reactions from media viewers, hidden community group chats, managing chat storage filters, and account restrictions are some of the features WhatsApp is presently working on, according to WABetaInfo.

The 'reactions from media viewer' is designed to let users quickly react to media content without leaving the media viewer screen, making the reaction process more convenient. This feature is presently available to some beta testers. The 'hidden community group chats' feature, which is currently under development, lets users mark community group chats as hidden by using a dedicated icon next to the group name. OneUI 6.1, OneUI 7 Release Date: Samsung To Roll Out Its Next Update to More Smartphones; Check Eligible Names and Expected Date.

As per the report, this feature is under development and will be available in a future update of the app.
