4. Another intriguing new WhatsApp feature is the ability to surreptitiously exit groups. The functionality was discovered on the desktop in beta version 2.2218.1. This feature allows you to silently exit a WhatsApp group without informing other members. Only the group admins will be alerted if someone exits the group.

5. A few WhatsApp beta testers have received the updated caption view functionality. This capability allows you to designate extra receivers when transferring content such as status updates. As a result, users are not forced to forward media that has already been sent.

WhatsApp will also include a new area where users can choose the audience for their current status post. You do not need to change your privacy settings for your status. Both the caption and the status audience selector are now accessible to beta users and will be made available to more people in the coming days.
