1- Manage backup size<\/p>\n
WhatsApp is currently seen working on the feature that will allow users to manage their chat backup size. Meaning, users can now exclude specific files, photos, documents from their cloud backup. The new update could, however, be limited to Android devices initially. And it could work with the backups that have been stored on Google Drive, reported WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo. It has said that the instant messaging app WhatsApp is working on the dedicated \u2018Manage backup size\u2019 section to help users manage their backup size before uploading it to the cloud. The feature is currently at a testing stage and is yet to be introduced for beta testing.<\/p>\n
2- Pause voice recordings<\/p>\n
Yes! You heard it right. WhatsApp users will soon be able to pause and continue recording the audio without having to delete or record another message or send the one that you might not want to send. We still don\u2019t know when users can expect this feature but reports suggest that it will be available on iOS and Android devices in future beta updates. The mentioned feature is not even available for public beta testers till now.<\/p>\n
3- Custom privacy settings<\/p>\n
This feature is again under development and will be available in future updates. WhatsApp is planning to bring the \u201cMy contacts except\u201d options for \u201cLast Seen\u201d for its users. As per WABetaInfo, the same has been planned for \u201cProfile Picture\u201d. Meaning, users on WhatsApp will soon be able to decide who can see their profile picture and last scene without having to delete the contact. You can have the contact saved in your device and yet the person won\u2019t be able to see your last seen or profile status.<\/p>\n
