WhatsApp’s new feature aims to enhance engagement among its users.
New Delhi: Popular social media platform, WhatsApp is currently testing a new feature that would suggest contacts for its users to chat with. With the upcoming update, the Meta-owned messaging app aims to bring in more engagement among users. The new feature will be added to the bottom of the chat list, giving users quick access to potential new conversations without disrupting their current chat order.
Here are more details on the upcoming WhatsApp Contact Suggestion feature.
WhatsApp Contact Suggestion Feature
WhatsApp is reportedly working on adding a new chat section to the list in preparation for an upcoming app upgrade, according to a WABetaInfo report. To help you start new discussions, this area will provide a list of recommended contacts from the address book that you can communicate with. Users will have fast access to possible new talks without having to reorder their current chat order because it will be added to the bottom of the list of chats. As a means of promoting new relationships and interactions, it seems that WhatsApp may advise users to start a chat with contacts they have never engaged with previously. It should be noted that new users will also get these recommendations when they sign up for WhatsApp for the first time, which will expedite the process of making contacts.
Benefits Of Contacts Suggestion Feature
An upcoming app version will include the capability to recommend contacts to talk with. This feature is currently under development. Additionally, this feature attempts to improve user ease and communication process by automatically recommending people to start talks with.
Engaging with new contacts can be increased by suggesting contacts and encouraging users to start conversations more often. It is crucial to remember that consumers always have control over their messaging experience and can choose to ignore this area at any time if they would rather not be suggested for new interactions.
WhatsApp Redesigned UI
WhatsApp has introduced a redesigned bottom navigation bar for its Android app to enhance accessibility by making it more user-friendly and convenient for users. This new navigation bar replaces the traditional top tabs with options like Chats, Status, Communities, and Calls, bringing it closer to the user’s thumbs for easier one-handed use. The redesign includes features like a floating action button resembling an incoming message bubble and removes the swipe navigation gesture, allowing users to switch between tabs with a simple swipe. This change aims to improve the overall user experience by aligning with Material Design guidelines and making navigation within the app more intuitive and efficient.
