WhatsApp is testing a new feature for its Windows beta app that aims to improve multitasking capabilities. This feature, called “pop-out chat,” allows users to detach individual chat windows from the main app and transform them into separate, resizable windows on their desktop.
What are the Benefits of Pop-Out Chats:
- Multitasking: Users can keep multiple chats open simultaneously and easily switch between them without minimizing or closing the main app. This can be helpful for individuals who manage numerous conversations throughout the day or need to reference multiple chats at once.
- Clear communication: Dedicating separate windows for specific conversations can help prevent important messages from getting lost or overlooked within the main chat window.
- Potential for improved collaboration: This feature might be beneficial for individuals collaborating on projects or coordinating group activities by providing a focused view for each discussion.
As of now, the pop-out chat feature is only available to a limited group of beta testers who have downloaded the latest update (version 2.2407.9.0) from the Microsoft Store. It’s expected to roll out to more users in the coming days.
