These are the reminders you will receive from chats you have not responded to

WhatsApp has been working on similar features to make more visible unread messages that can go completely unnoticed when many chats are usually received each day. You are currently developing a feature that will remind you via a notification unread messages from some users.

The fact that a person forgets certain discussions is part of the phenomenon known as “ghosting”, linked to the sudden disappearance of a contact with whom a certain type of communication had been initiated. It is normally attributed to dating apps in which a person disappears overnight without leaving a trace or responding to the last message sent.

The Hinge app even fights against this phenomenon, which can also be attributed to the fast pace of the days we live in. And that's where the shots go too with the latest news in the chat app which could constitute an important step forward in the fight against what is called “ghosting”.

A setting was recently introduced in the notification settings that, when active, sends “push” alerts when certain status updates are missed so that the user does not miss anything or anything important.

Now, thanks to version 2.24.25.29 of WhatsApp for Android according to WaBetaInfo, this option becomes more useful when group unread messages. At least the application gives the possibility of deactivating this option if you do not want to receive this type of reminders that at certain times you do not even want to read.

With the description of this new adjustment, we can affirm that WhatsApp will not be responsible for sending a reminder for each direct message that the user got lost or simply didn't want to respond to anything. The algorithm used to run these reports on the device (on the device) depending on the use given to the application.

Which means that if WhatsApp is installed on a new mobile, the application will recalculate this metric or algorithm to make callbacks of unread messages that it includes displaying to the user from the notification panel.

As mentioned, this new WhatsApp feature to mitigate the effect of “ghosting” it's optional and from the notification settings you can deactivate it at any time to not receive the notification with unread messages grouped together. And it must be taken into account that this development, being part of the beta version, might not even see the light of day at some point for a function that would save some conversations simply lost in oblivion according to Android Authority.
