WhatsApp reportedly working on new feature to let users select chats on Desktop beta

By Scott Marlette Last updated Dec 28, 2022

WhatsApp recently announced a new feature for its users – Accidental Delete – which is aimed at protecting users in tricky situations wherein they have sent a message to the wrong person or group and accidentally clicked on ‘Delete for me’ instead of ‘Delete for everyone’.
The Meta-owned messaging platform now is reportedly working on another useful feature. The company is reportedly working on a feature which will enable users to select multiple chats on WhatsApp Desktop.

WhatsApp Select chats feature
According to a report by WABetaInfo, the platform which tracks changes in WhatsApp build, has announced that the messaging app will soon enable users to select multiple chats on WhatsApp Desktop version. Currently, the feature is in the testing phase on WhatsApp Desktop beta.
Citing screenshots, WABetainfo also noted, “the ability to select multiple chats is a feature under development and it will be released in a future update of WhatsApp Desktop beta. We’re not sure when it will be released but as always, we’re going to post an additional article on this website when further details about this feature are available.”
WhatsApp Report status feature
Presently, WhatsApp allows users to report messages and contacts to WhatsApp in case they think there is a violation of their Terms of Service. When you report a contact, the last 5 messages in the conversation are forwarded to WhatsApp, but you can also choose to report specific messages.

In its previous report, WABetaInfo shared a screenshot of the upcoming feature revealing the possibility to report a status update right within a new menu in the status section. “Note that this feature does not break end-to-end encryption, as claimed by ProPublica last year due to misunderstanding since messages, voice calls, media, location sharing, calls, and status updates, are protected by the end-to-end encryption protocol on all of your devices: it means that nobody, not even WhatsApp and Meta, can see the content of your messages and listen to your private calls, but it is important to bring a report option to keep the platform and other people safe,” adds the report.
The report further adds that the feature is in the developmental stage and is expected to soon release for WhatsApp Desktop users.
