WhatsApp Developing Chat Preview Feature for Android to Read Messages Without Read Receipts
WhatsApp is developing a chat preview feature for its Android app that allows users to read recent messages without opening the conversation, preventing read receipts from being sent. Accessible via a long press on chats, the preview will enable scrolling through messages and quick actions like pinning, archiving, or deleting chats. This feature, similar to one already available on iOS but with added scrolling, is still under development with no confirmed release date.
