WabetaInfo, which was referenced in the WhatsApp tracker, was first reported on the development of the feature. In the current case, anyone in the group can see if you’ve exited the group but with this feature, only the admin will be notified.
WhatsApp group exit alert
WhatsApp is said to be working on a feature that only alerts the group admin if someone exits the group while others won’t know. As of now, the feature is said to be on and the actual rollout will happen once the feature completes testing. We can speculate that it will be available in beta first and then to stability in the coming weeks, if not sooner.
“The feature will be available in a future update of the app. You can see a different message when you try to leave a group: only group admins will be notified when you leave the group! But the WhatsApp beta update for Android brings details regarding another feature in development: the ability to view previous participants is in development, so it will still be possible to find out who has left the group somehow.. WAbetaInfo was mentioned in the blog. That said, the feature is still in the testing phase and isn’t even available to beta testers either.
WhatsApp recently rolled out a new feature that hides the last seen, profile picture, and status updates from specific contacts. WhatsApp says this is to protect your privacy online. Earlier, users had only three options, such as “Everyone”, “My Contacts” and “Nobody”. Now users also have the option to “Exclude my contacts” as well.
