WhatsApp: This new feature gives ability to search groups by contact name

WhatsApp new feature: The Meta-owned instant messaging application WhatsApp is working on another big feature. The platform has started to roll out a new feature which gives users the ability to search groups by entering a contact name on the Desktop version.

The feature appeared to some users after installing the latest WhatsApp Desktop update, WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp, reported. With the new feature, users can get a list of all their recent groups in common with a contact by entering their name within the search bar.

It is helpful for users who joined many groups on the platform and do not remember the name of a group in common with a specific contact. It will be rolled out to more people over the coming days, the report said. Last month, the messaging platform was reportedly working on a mute shortcut for group chats for a future update of WhatsApp Desktop beta. 

The mute shortcut will display at the top of group chats and will help users to disable notifications of messages received in the group. Meanwhile, earlier this month, Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg had announced that the company is bringing digital avatars to the messaging platform. 

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday announced the roll out of a new Avatar feature a new and personalized way to express yourself on the popular messaging application WhatsApp.  "We're bringing avatars to WhatsApp! Now you can use your avatar as a sticker in chats. More styles coming soon across all our apps," Zuckerberg wrote on social media platform Facebook.
