WhatsApp has rolled out new features to its mobile app recently including the Snapchat style short video update called ‘Status’. WhatsApp even re-added its basic text based status update feature following a backlash from users who complained about its removal.
Now there are reports that WhatsApp will roll out an update that will remove the feature that allows users to stay clear of contacts they want to avoid. This update might once again annoy users.
The update was spotted by WABetaInfo in the beta version of the app. According to the report, the new update will prevent you from hiding whenever you make a change to your account.
The report also suggests that WhatsApp will notify user’s contacts whenever they change their phone number or update their profile. Facebook and WhatsApp are yet to confirm the roll out of this update but few reports claim that it could be included as a new option in the security setting.
