- This feature will provide special relief for those who want digital detox.
Whatsapp New Feature: If you also want to take a break from WhatsApp for some time but are unable to do so due to the fear of losing chats and settings, then your problem may soon end. The Meta-owned instant messaging platform is now working on a new Logout feature that will help users sign out of the app, without deleting chats or data.
New feature seen in beta version
Information about this feature has been revealed in a report by WABetaInfo. According to the report, this feature has been seen in WhatsApp Beta for Android version 2.26.21.9. Currently, it has been released for some beta testers and it can be extended to all users in the coming months. According to the report, WhatsApp is now going to provide such an option in which users will be able to logout directly without deleting the app and all their data will remain safe on the phone.
What was the problem till now?
There is no official Logout option in WhatsApp yet. If a user wanted to distance himself from the app for some time, he was forced to uninstall the app. After this, to use WhatsApp again, one had to download the app, verify the number and restore the chat backup. This process proved to be quite a hassle for users troubled by constant notifications and messages.
How will the new Logout feature work?
According to new reports, Logout option will be given in the Account section of WhatsApp settings. When the user taps on this option, a confirmation screen will appear first. After this the account will be temporarily disconnected from the device. The most important thing is that during this period, chats, media files and account settings will remain safe on the phone. This means that whenever the user wants to come back, he can easily login and start the conversation from where he left it.
Relief for those seeking digital detox
Nowadays many people want mental peace by keeping some distance from social media and messaging apps. In such a situation, this feature of WhatsApp can prove to be very useful. Users will be able to stay away from the app for some time without losing data and will be able to easily return later.
These special features are already present in WhatsApp
WhatsApp already allows using two different accounts on one phone. With this, personal and office accounts can be easily kept separate. Apart from this, App Lock feature is also present to increase privacy, in which chats can be protected through fingerprint, face unlock or passcode.
small change but big impact
This feature may seem small but it can prove to be very useful for millions of WhatsApp users. Especially for those people who are troubled by frequent notifications or want to distance themselves from the digital world for some time. If everything goes according to plan, then in the future, leaving and returning to WhatsApp will become easier than ever.
