WhatsApp is working on the addition of threads to messages, which will potentially add the nuance and complexity to conversations.
As spotted on Wabetainfo, the latest beta version of the Android WhatsApp application contains a feature that will allow you to organize message responses to wire conversations.
How will whatsapp threads work?
The implementation of WhatsApp is based on the existing response system. As WhatsApp's regular users know this, it is possible to respond to individual messages, which cites the original message at the top of the answer.
It seems that the Whatsapp thread system automatically organizes all these responses to a particular message in a separate conversation view.
If Whatsapp closes this implementation, he promises to save these heavy group cats where you check a list of overwhelming scrolling of matching comments. Here, you can simply press the last answer and be adopted on a separate thread which follows exclusively this particular conversational arch.

Reason for prudence
Anyone who uses a direct messaging service like Slack will know the possibility of adding separate threaded responses to specific messages rather than simply adding to a long linear conversation.
It is a practical way of lateral bar on specific subjects without disturbing the global conversation.
However, as Slack users also know, such a thread system also adds complexity and visual size to conversations – two things that are not ideal on tiny smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S25.
WhatsApp's sons seem promising
Conceptually, at least, WhatsApp's approach seems to be much cleaner. Above all, this should not fundamentally change the appearance or conviviality of your basic Whatsapp cats.
From the screenshot and the description provided (see above), it seems that the function will be there for those who know how to use it without adding a clutter to the conversations.
This new WhatsApp feature is listed as being developed, it will therefore not be made available for tests before future updates. It would be a massive change in the functioning of WhatsApp, we therefore hope that the company will stick the landing.
