How to silence WhatsApp Web conversations forever ?
As we already mentioned, this new feature will be available from version 2.2039.9 of WhatsApp Web . To access it you need to have on the Android smartphone version 2.20.201.10 of the application. If you participate in the WhatsApp beta users program, you can force the download of the latest version from the Google Play Store.
The main novelty is the change in the option to silence a conversation or group. The alternatives now are as follows:
– 8 hours;
– 1 week;
– Ever.
Remember that the option to silence notifications forever has been adapted. It took the place of the “1 year” alternative, which will no longer be shown.
Still on WhatsApp Web, another novelty is a shortcut to conversations in accounts integrated with WhatsApp Business. In the upper chat bar the user has access to a complete catalog of the company’s products.
Finally, there will also be a new option to initiate voice and video calls from the web version of the messenger. For the future, a feature is under development that will require the user to authenticate to an account from a fingerprint reader on models that are compatible with this technology.

Subtle visual changes
Another change that will be present in the following versions of WhatsApp is quite subtle and will go unnoticed by most users. There are subtle changes to the attachment icons – Contacts, Documents, Videos and Photos. However, the details are almost imperceptible, as shown in the image below published by WABetaInfo.
There is no official forecast as to when this feature will be released to all users. The WhatsApp just merely add news in its beta versions, but that does not necessarily mean that it is now available to all in the next version. Some features may need more time for testing or may not even pass.
With more than 2 billion users worldwide, the messenger remains the main communication tool for Americans. It is estimated that more than 120 million people have an account with the service, which makes it an indispensable communication tool at all times, especially during the coronavirus pandemic.
A study by Panorama Mobile Time in partnership with Opinion Box conducted in early 2020 revealed that the app is present in 99% of Americans cell phones.
