Recently spotted in the WhatsApp beta for Android, the online feature is now being tested for the iOS app as well. This feature shows you which of your contacts have been online recently.
WABetaInfo The feature, seen in WhatsApp iOS Beta v24.9.10.71, shows a limited view of your contacts’ recent activities. When you start an interaction with any of your contacts, a new chat or a new call, you will now be able to see which contacts have been actively using WhatsApp lately.
Let us underline that the feature does not show the live stream of everyone who is online at that moment. On the other hand, this shows whether the person has used WhatsApp in the last period of time. Thus, you will be able to have an idea about which of your contacts will be more likely to interact with you via message or call.
The feature was created with privacy in mind. Therefore, for users who have disabled their last seen and online status, WhatsApp will not show their last online activity, which may be affected by privacy settings. He will ensure that it is always adhered to.
Let us also remind you that WhatsApp recently announced passkey support for iOS.
