WhatsApp Gets 'Dismiss as Admin' Feature 'High Priority Notifications' Dappled in Android Beta
WhatsApp for Android has added a new feature in its latest Beta update. In the latest WhatsApp beta version, the app has added 'High Priority' notifications that will enable users to manage push notifications better. It is similar to the pinned chats feature that WhatsApp had rolled out last year. WhatsApp has also separately launched a new 'Dismiss as Admin' feature for its iOS and Web apps.
First spotted by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has rolled out the High Priority notifications for Android beta testers. When a user enables this feature, incoming notifications can be pinned to the top of the smart phone's notification center. The option can be applied to private as well as group chats. Gadgets 360 has been able to verify the new feature is currently available in the WhatsApp version 2.18.117 on Android.
Users can access the High Priority Notification feature by going to the Notifications Settings menu. Notably, if your smartphone has other applications that have a similar feature, the notifications should be shown as in a chronological order.
Coming to the 'Dismiss as Admin' feature, the feature is only aimed at WhatsApp groups. Also dappled by WABetaInfo, it enables group admins to demote other admins. Earlier, group administrators had to remove other admins to demote them. But, with the new feature, they can just be demoted to a member without being removed. You will be able to locate it in the Group Info menu.
Interestingly, WhatsApp had rolled out the feature in its Android app (version 2.18.116), but it appears to have removed it in the latest Android beta app (version 2.18.17). This feature is available on WhatsApp for iOS (version 2.18.41), and Web (version 2.18.116).
