In a bid to improve its service, WhatsApp keeps rolling out new features. And this time, it has introduced a “Read Later” option in the new Beta update.

The new option, as explained by WABetainfo, is a replacement for the existing “Archived Chats” feature. 

“When a chat is added in your archive, the user doesn’t receive notifications from it because all archived chats will be automatically muted, in order to reduce interruptions,” it said.

A Read Later banner — to access the feature — will appear on the top of the app’s interface, according to a photo shared by WABetainfo.

However, WABetainfo said that the feature is under development and that it would be available soon.
