WhatsApp users will now be able to discover past group members. The app is rolling out this feature in iOS beta format for now. Here is all you need to know.
Recently, we had revealed that WhatsApp is working on a
feature that will let its users view a list of past participants in WhatsApp
groups in order to get a better idea of what may have been happening earlier.
And now the app is finally rolling out the feature for the iOS beta. Using this
feature WhatsApp iOS beta users will be able to discover people who left or
were removed from the group in the last 60 days. Informing about the same,
WABetaInfo tweeted, "WhatsApp is rolling out the ability to view past
group participants on iOS beta! Discover people who left or were removed in the
last 60 days thanks to a new section within group info!"
It can be known that WhatsApp users can create a group and
add up to 512 people to it. Similarly, the admin of the group also has an
option to remove participants from the group. According to a report
by WABetaInfo. the
information about the ability to view past participants within the group can be
seen within group info. "We posted some information about the ability to
view past participants within our groups thanks to a new option visible within
group info. WhatsApp is exactly releasing this feature to some beta testers
that install the latest beta version of WhatsApp from TestFlight!," the
report said.
Sharing a screenshot, WABetaInfo informed that a new option
is available at the end of the list of group participants that lets users
discover people who left or were removed in the last 60 days. "This
section is visible to all participants that have the feature enabled for their
accounts: it means that this is not limited to group admins but everyone can
open the past participants section," the report informed. It further said
that people who left or were removed from the group are listed in this section,
but this event is no longer visible within the chat except for group admins.
