A couple of years ago WhatsApp caused a stir among its users by launching an update that implemented the famous double blue check, a function that allows you to know when a message sent to an individual or group chat was read.
The arrival of this function caused a profound impact among users of the popular instant messaging service, because many people were concerned when they saw that a tool had arrived that exposed them when they reviewed the messages that arrived in a conversation.

Now WhatsApp once once more surprises its users by revealing a new change in the double blue check tool, since a triple blue check recently appeared in chats.
What are the three WhatsApp ‘pimps’ regarding?
Specialized media have shown the presence of three blue pimps in WhatsApp chats, which would have the function of notifying users when another member of a conversation has taken a screenshot of the chat or other content sent.
So this update would be designed to protect the privacy of users from indiscreet people who have the habit of sending content shared in a specific chat to other conversations.
Thus, every time a triple blue check accompanies a message from a WhatsApp chat, this will indicate that another person has saved a copy in the image gallery of their phone.
It should be noted that there is still no further information regarding the operation of this tool, therefore, it is unknown if in a group chat this tool would reveal the person who took the screenshot.

When would the three WhatsApp pimps be available?
It is important to note that this novelty is currently only present in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android. So only a small group of beta tester users have access to this tool.
Because this is a feature that is in the testing phase, it is possible that in the near future this function will be implemented through an update to the official version of the app.
However, at the moment WhatsApp has not issued an official statement on the functionality of the three blue pimps and their possible implementation date.
For this reason, it is recommended to keep the WhatsApp application properly updated, to ensure that the user’s phone receives all the news that Meta continually releases for its instant messaging service.

It is worth remembering that a couple of weeks ago it was known that the application is working on a theme function for the platform, which makes it possible to alter the main colors of the app to allow more customization options for users.
