WhatsApp gets option to participate in already started group conversations

WhatsApp added new group chat features to its messaging service on Monday. Users are given the option to join group conversations that have already started.

WhatsApp users who miss the initial call to join group conversations can still access it from Monday to join the conversations. WhatsApp reports that. Users can also leave and rejoin the group conversations, as long as the conversation is ongoing.

The Facebook service also shows on a window who is already participating in the conversation and to whom invitations to join have been sent. Users can temporarily decline the call to join by using the ‘ignore’ button and join later through the service’s call screen.

Competing services such as Zoom have long offered the option to enter group conversations that have already started.
