WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature to some beta testers that allows users to see profile photos within group chats on a desktop.
This feature will help users to identify group members for which they don’t have the phone number or when they have the same name, reports WABetaInfo.
If a group member does not set up a profile photo or is hidden due to privacy restrictions, the default profile icon appears and is highlighted using the same color as the contact name.
The new feature will also be released on WhatsApp beta for Android soon.
The messaging platform started to work on this new feature for WhatsApp Desktop beta in October.
The report said that the company plans to introduce the feature on desktop and iOS beta to help group members better recognize other people in their groups.
