The site previously uncovered the same feature under development in WhatsApp Android beta version 2.22.12.8.<\/p>\n
As it stands, WhatsApp shows a notification in the group whenever any participant leaves, informing other members of the user’s decision.<\/p>\n
With the silent exit feature, only group admins will be notified when a specific user leaves the group.<\/p>\n
This will be particularly useful for participants who want to avoid the potential fallout of leaving a group under unpleasant circumstances.<\/p>\n
The screenshot below shows a preview of the notice users will receive before exiting a group, indicating that only group admins will be informed of their decision.<\/p>\n
Another noteworthy feature<\/strong><\/a> currently under development is the ability for users to replace their faces in video calls with a customisable avatar.<\/p>\n The new option will reportedly be available by hitting a button within the video call window, allowing users to switch to an avatar-based video call.<\/p>\n WABetaInfo said it could not show a preview of the feature as it was still under development.<\/p>\n The publication reported that, similar to Snapchat, users will get a dedicated Avatar Editor section within the app.<\/p>\n From here, they can configure and customise an “avatarised” version of themselves, which will be used in the video call and can be incorporated into stickers for WhatsApp messaging.<\/p>\n Both the silent exit and avatar call features are still under development and will likely first be enabled within the beta versions before rolling out to the official apps.<\/p>\n WhatsApp is working on making group exits less dramatic and video calls more fun. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341042,"featured_media":440392,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17934,16],"tags":[161,73842,2594,50825],"class_list":["post-450590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-smartphones","category-software","tag-facebook","tag-meta-platforms","tag-whatsapp","tag-whatsapp-groups"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450590"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341042"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450590"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":450610,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450590\/revisions\/450610"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Exit-WBI-Group.jpg\")
