WhatsApp is testing a new feature that will allow you to mark all messages as read at once. Another update brings sticker suggestions to chats.
WhatsApp, one of the most widely used messaging apps in the world with over two billion users, is currently testing two features that could improve the user experience. In particular, the ability to mark all unread messages as read at once would make life easier for many users. The new “Read All” feature is currently being tested and will be offered as a menu option to quickly and efficiently manage all unread messages.
WhatsApp is also testing a new notification feature on the home screen. With this update, you can customize the display of the notification dot or the number of unread messages. This could be especially useful for those who want to control their notifications and target their attention.
Application researcher Saad Jawad discovered and shared functional tests via topics.

Sticker Suggestions: Faster Chat for Individuals and Social Media Managers
In addition to the feature to mark all messages as read, WhatsApp is also working on another practical innovation that affects the popular sticker function. In the upcoming update, the sticker suggestion function will be integrated into chats, which should help you find the right stickers faster and thus improve the chat experience.
