After several years, WhatsApp is finally bringing a new experience when interacting with in-app notifications.
Thanks to the new version of in-app notifications, released with the 2.21.140.9 beta update, users can now see more details in the notification banner, so images, videos, GIFs and stickers:
The user can now expand the in-app notification in order to show the chat preview: the chat preview is not static like the one that appears when you peek on a chat cell, so the user can scroll up and down the view to see older and newer messages.
When you read messages from the chat preview, read receipts aren’t updated: WhatsApp will notify the recipient that you have read their messages when you open the chat normally or when you reply from the chat preview.
The new version of in-app notifications is available today for all iOS beta users. Stay tuned to discover more changes and features about WhatsApp beta for Android and iOS!
