WhatsApp has been expanding its features, with reports surfacing about the development of a messaging feature allowing users to message unsaved contacts. While this feature is still pending a full rollout, the platform is now focusing on developing an in-app dialer, enabling users to make calls on WhatsApp without the need to save contacts.

The dialer feature was identified in the beta version 2.24.9.28 of WhatsApp for Android. This innovation aims to offer convenience akin to messaging unsaved contacts, eliminating the need to temporarily store numbers in the address book for occasional or one-time communication.

Furthermore, WhatsApp is exploring a feature named “Hidden group” designed to conceal groups within communities. Present in beta version 2.24.9.20 of WhatsApp for Android, this feature limits group visibility to invited members, empowering community admins to manage membership more effectively.

Anticipate potential controversies surrounding the “Hidden group” feature within communities. It’s unclear when these features will be released to users worldwide on the stable version.
