Members of a WhatsApp group will be able to know who left it in the last 60 days

July 25 (Portaltic/EP) –

Members of a group of WhatsApp will be able to know which other users abandoned it or were expelled in the previous 60 days, thanks to a new section that introduces the version of the application for iOS.

Currently, when a member of a group leaves a group conversation, the instant messaging application notifies all users of that chat that that person has left it.

WABetaInfo warned a few months ago in the version of WhatsApp beta for Desktop a change in this system, with a functionality that exclusively notifies the administrator or administrators of a group when a member leaves the conversation.

However, this same portal has confirmed that the company is developing a feature called ‘Previous Participants’, which will allow members of a group to review who was expelled or abandoned in the last 60 days.

This functionality, which seen in beta version 22.16.0.70 of WhatsApp for iOS, developed through the TestFlight program, introduces a section available within the Group Information section. This section can be accessed by all members of this group chat.

It includes a search engine to enter the name of the participants of said group in the last 60 days and these will appear in a list, in which certain details are specified.

Along with their visible names for WhatsApp contacts and their profile pictures, the moment when these contacts have voluntarily left the group in question or have been expelled from it.

After 60 days of this action, users will disappear from this list and there will be no evidence of having previously participated in this group chat.

WABetaInfo has recalled that this feature is under development and that it is unknown when it will be available to users of the WhatsApp version for iOS.
