POP-OUT CHATS
After introducing a feature to easily create stickers from images, WhatsApp is now developing new options for their native Windows app aimed at enhancing user experience, particularly in managing multiple conversations. These upcoming updates are designed to provide users with additional tools to better navigate through their conversations, ensuring a more efficient communication. Specifically, thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Windows 2.2407.9.0, which is available on the Microsoft Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out a pop-out chat feature to some beta testers!
As you can see in this screenshot, a new option called "Pop-out chat" is available within the chat options. This feature enables users to detach individual chat windows from the main WhatsApp interface, transforming them into independent, resizable windows that can be positioned anywhere on the desktop. This means that users can now engage in multiple conversations concurrently without the need of constantly switching between them from the main app.
In our opinion, users can effortlessly multitask, responding to messages from different contacts or groups simultaneously with the ability to pop out multiple chat windows. This feature enhances communication and significantly boosts productivity, particularly for users who manage numerous conversations throughout the day or needs to read more chats at once. In addition, for users collaborating on projects or coordinating group activities, we believe that this feature may further facilitate communication by providing a dedicated window for each conversation. This option provides users with clearer communication and ensures that important messages don't get buried or overlooked amid other chat threads.
The pop-out chat feature is available to some users who install the latest WhatsApp for Windows update released on the Microsoft Store. If you don't see this update on the Microsoft Store, please note that it will be rolled out to more users over the coming days.
