WhatsApp Read-Later feature: How archiving chats could soon be different

WhatsApp has been working on new ways to change how a user archives chats which will provide more control to the user. WhatsApp Vacation Mode had initially started testing last year but the company seemed to ditch the idea. However, earlier this year, the instant messaging platform resumed work on it. Now, a new report suggests that there is a new read-later feature that is expected to replace the current archived chats feature.

A report by WABetaInfo, a website that tracks the features of the application in the beta version, has spotted a read-later feature in the company’s iOS application. The new feature was spotted in the beta version 2.20.130.16 for iOS. However, beta users do not have access to the functionality of this feature yet.
