Facebook-owned WhatsApp has started rolling out the ‘Mark as Read’ button to some users who are using WhatsApp for Android’s beta version.<\/b>
\nMore than two weeks ago, we reported that Facebook-owned WhatsApp was working on a new shortcut button called \u2018 Mark as Read \u2018 that would allow users to quickly mark the messages as read from the notification. At that time, this feature wasn\u2019t available to the users as it was still under development, but now, with a beta update for Android, WhatsApp has started rolling out the \u2018Mark as Read\u2019 button to the users.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has started rolling out the \u2018Mark as Read\u2019 shortcut button with beta update 2.18.232 for Android. This new shortcut button appears in the WhatsApp message notifications, sitting right next to the \u2018Reply To\u2019 button.
Like we already said, this \u2018Mark as Read\u2019 button allows the users to quickly mark messages as read right from the notification, eliminating the need to open the app to do so. While WhatsApp has started rolling out this shortcut button for Android users with beta update 2.18.232, it\u2019s still not available to all the users who are using this version of the app, which indicates that this is a server-side roll-out. If you too are using beta version 2.18.232 of WhatsApp for Android and don\u2019t see this button yet, you will have to wait it out.
Well, in addition to the \u2018Mark as Read\u2019 button, WhatsApp is also working on a \u2018Mute\u2019 button that would allow users to mute WhatsApp chats straight from the notification panel. However, this button will only show up when you have received more than 51 messages from a chat \u2013 either private or group.
Now that WhatsApp has started rolling out the \u2018Mark as Read\u2019 button to beta users on Android, we can expect it to roll out to all users on stable version soon. Perhaps the company will roll-out both the \u2018Mark as Read\u2019 and \u2018Mute\u2019 buttons together on the stable channel.
