WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will allow users display the profile picture of the other members within a group chatnext to the messages sent by these contacts.
Currently, only the messages sent by each contact appear in group chats, with the name under which it has been saved on the device or on the SIM card at the top.
If you don’t have them previously saved, the phone numbers with the regional prefix will appear first (for example, +34 in the case of Spain). Furthermore, in both cases, the contacts are differentiated by random colors.
Now the messaging platform works on a new display format for contacts in group chats, in which the user’s name is now displayed, as well asor your profile picture next to the sent message.
This has been discovered by WABetaInfo in a new update sent through the TestFlight beta program in version 22.18.0.72 for the iOS operating system.
This portal has clarified that, as is the case with the preview of the reaction, there is no way to disable this featureas it is always enabled by default for all participants in a group char.
This feature is under development, so it is unknown when WhatsApp will officially launch it to all users of the platform. It is also not known if it will be available for Android.
