WhatsApp, Meta’s instant messaging platform with more than 2 billion users worldwide, is testing a new feature that shows a contact’s profile information in the chat window. First spotted by WABetaInfo, the newest version of WhatsApp beta (v2.23.25.11) for Android now shows the status and last seen (if enabled) under the contact name in the app’s chat window. As can be seen in the screenshot, users will see the other person’s status under their name if they are offline and, alternatively, switch between their last seen if they have enabled the functionality. However, the information will only be shown if enabled in WhatsApp’s privacy settings. The ability to quickly check a user’s status from the conversation window is really handy since you will no longer have to tap and open the profile information screen to see if they have changed their status. The new feature will be available to everyone in a future version of WhatsApp for Android.
