As soon as you open WhatsApp, you will know who is online, this bold feature is coming

WhatsApp New Feature: Username feature is preparing for another new feature in India. This is going to be a simple, but very important feature. According to reports, WhatsApp is working on a feature these days, with the help of which users will be able to know which of their WhatsApp contacts are online. This feature is already present on Meta's other platforms Instagram, Facebook and Messenger etc. In this, a green dot appears in front of the name of online active users. Now this feature can also be rolled out on WhatsApp.

After this feature comes, the user will not have to open a chat and see whether the contact in front of him is online or not. They will see a green dot below the contact's profile picture. This would mean that the person in front of him is currently active on the app. Not seeing the dot means that it is not active on the app. However, initially this feature will appear only on the contact info page. The page that opens after tapping on someone's profile photo on WhatsApp is the contact info page and initially the green dot will appear on it. It is believed that in the future, it can also be made available on the chat list or conversation screen.

privacy?

There will be no impact on privacy once the Green Dot feature is available. Users will have the option to show or hide it as before. If you don't want anyone to see you staying online, you can hide it by going to Settings. It will work the same way as the existing online status. If it is already visible, then the green dot will also be visible. If you have it disabled, the green dot will follow the same setting.

New feature will come for both Android and iPhone
