Overview
- WhatsApp is testing an Android beta feature that moves company and service messages to a separate area after about 24 hours, according to WABetaInfo.
- The trial appears in version 2.26.15.9 for selected beta users, who see business chats leave the main chat view while remaining accessible elsewhere.
- Early reports describe a settings switch that would let people turn the automatic sorting on or off, giving users control over the behavior.
- WhatsApp previously explored placing business conversations in a dedicated list from the start, and the company has not settled on a final design.
- No rollout date has been announced, and the change is aimed at reducing clutter from shops, deliveries, and subscription alerts so friends and family stay easier to find.
