For users of WhatsApp business accounts, the Meta-owned platform is anticipated to release some improvements to the app's function.

WhatsApp Business is used by many firms as a more convenient way of providing customer service, whether that is to request an update on a delivery or to ask a question.

As companies receive many messages from customers, it's understandable that extra support is required to sort through them all.

The messaging platform has already made it easier to find specific media within chats, enabling people to sort between links, media and documents.

According to WABetaInfo, who revealed the feature, they said: "WhatsApp is to planning to release it on WhatsApp Messenger since they are more useful on WhatsApp business".

WABetaInfo reported that the redesign will "make the chats list very clean".

"In particular, they are planning to remove the row where you can open your broadcast lists and create new groups."

The tech giant, Meta, is working on a better way to let users know when they have been mentioned in chats they're in.

The change will provide a clearer indication of when users have been mentioned or replied to, by notifying you with the profile photo of the person who has used your name or replied to you.
