Last month, WhatsApp introduced new chat themes. The free messaging and video calling app is launching a new message threads feature to reduce chaos in group chats.
WABetaInfo discovered that a new Android beta version of WhatsApp includes a feature to organize message replies into threaded conversations. The site explains that “instead of scrolling through a long list of individual replies, users will be able to follow and view all the related responses in a dedicated thread, keeping the conversation structured and easy to follow.”
In doing so, the new feature will “save users from the effort of scrolling through the entire chat history to find one specific response, as they can easily navigate through threads and focus on relevant conversations without losing context.”

The new feature is part of the Android 2.25.7.7 beta version.
WhatsApp is a widely used messaging app that facilitates seamless communication among friends, family, and colleagues worldwide. Users can engage through various means, including text messages, voice calls, and high-quality video calls, making it a versatile platform for personal and professional interactions.
One of WhatsApp’s standout features is its end-to-end encryption, which guarantees that only the intended sender and recipient can access the content of their messages. This security measure helps to protect users’ privacy and ensures a high level of confidentiality in conversations, allowing people to communicate without the fear of unauthorized access.
In addition to one-on-one messaging, WhatsApp enhances social interaction with group chats, enabling multiple users to participate in conversations simultaneously. This is particularly useful for coordinating events, discussing projects, or staying connected with loved ones.
WhatsApp also supports multimedia-sharing options, allowing users to share photos, videos, and documents effortlessly. Users can send images and videos directly from their camera or photo gallery, making it easy to share memorable moments. Furthermore, the app includes features like voice messages, which provide a quick typing alternative, and status updates that allow users to share snapshots of their lives with contacts.
Not using WhatsApp? You can download the app from the App Store or Google Play now. It will look perfect on your new Galaxy S25 Ultra or OnePlus 13.
