A new beta version of the popular messenger WhatsApp has been released with version number 2.24.7.19, which adds new functions to the messenger. It means you can attach a message to a specific contact.

WABetaInfo has noticed that WhatsApp is developing a new feature for the messenger where users can attach a specific note to contacts.

The new box, known simply as ‘contact notes’ is currently in development and will be available in a future update of WhatsApp Web as well as the WhatsApp beta for Android.

This free text box will allow you, or businesses, to make a personalised note to help you remember someone. You could, for example, add where you met someone or a mutual friend so a quick memory jog about who you are talking to isn’t far away.

New favourites management

In the WhatsApp beta for Android with build number 2.24.7.18, the developer had already integrated a favourites function for the “Calls” section in the messenger to improve the process of prioritising and accessing important contacts and groups directly from the tab – a phone call with the most important contacts is now just a tap away.

In the latest beta update, WhatsApp is expanding this function even further and adding a management function to the favourites function.

In future, users will be able to select, organise and remove their favourite contacts and groups directly in the app settings – making it much easier. Favourites can also be managed completely without opening the “Calls” tab.

According to the website WABetaInfo, the favourites management function is currently under development and will be made available in a future update of the app.
