WhatsApp is one of the most popular chatting apps and it keeps bringing new features every now and then. Now WhatsApp is giving a new feature with its latest beta update, that is WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.25.21.14. This new feature is now rolling out to some Android beta users through the Google Play Beta Program.
In this new update, WhatsApp is now giving an option to set notification reminders for chat messages so that users don’t forget to reply or check important messages. This is a small but very useful feature that many WhatsApp users were waiting for. In this article, we will talk about the new update and how this reminder feature works.
Notification Reminders for Chat Messages in the New Update
In this beta version, WhatsApp has added a smart feature that allows users to set a reminder for any message in a chat. This means if someone sends you a message and you want to check or reply later, now you can set a reminder for that specific message. When the time comes, WhatsApp will send a notification with that message so you can easily go back and read or reply.
This feature is very helpful when users are busy in multiple chats and don’t want to forget something important. With this new feature, WhatsApp makes it easy to manage personal, work or group conversations more smoothly.
You can choose simple options like 2 hours, 8 hours, or even 1 day. Also, there is a custom option where you can select the exact time and date to set your reminder.
How to Set Reminder for a Message on WhatsApp
After installing the WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.25.21.14, some users will see a new option when they tap on a message. There will be a new item in the message menu called Set Reminder. If you tap on it, it will show different time options.
Once the reminder is set, WhatsApp adds a small bell icon next to the message bubble. This icon will help users know which messages have a reminder set on them.
When the time comes, WhatsApp sends a proper notification that shows the full message, the name of the chat, and if it is a media message like a photo or video, then it shows a thumbnail also. So users can directly open that message without scrolling in the chat.
All Reminders are Private and Safe
This new reminder feature works only on your phone and it is fully private. Nobody else in the chat can see that you have set a reminder. Even WhatsApp does not store this data on its server. Everything is on your own device only.
This privacy makes the feature even better, because users can mark any message without worrying about others knowing about it. It is also very helpful for students, team members or friends who want to manage their replies and tasks without forgetting.
Rolling Out to More Users Slowly
This feature of setting notification reminders is available only to some beta testers on WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.25.21.14. If you have updated but still don’t see the feature, it means it is being rolled out step by step.
So users will have to wait a bit more to get this new feature. In the coming weeks, more beta users will get the update, and after proper testing, it may come to the stable version.
WhatsApp Giving More Control with Smart Reminders
The new feature in WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.25.21.14 is a small but smart addition to the app. Now users can stay more organized by setting custom reminders for messages they don’t want to miss. Whether it is a group chat, office message, or personal talk, now reminders will help users manage things better and never forget important messages.
WhatsApp is working to make chatting easy, smart, and more personal for everyone, and this new reminder update is a step forward in that direction.
