If you’re enrolled in the WhatsApp Beta programme for Android, then by now you must’ve noticed that there will be at least one update every day and sometimes it’s more than one. This itself states how actively WhatsApp is making changes to the application and is concentrating on adding new features. However, there’s a piece of sad news for WhatsApp Android Beta users as the company has reportedly removed the ability to save profile pictures of others. For the unaware, WhatsApp allows its users to save profile pictures of their contacts, but the feature has now been removed. WhatsApp update tracking website WABetaInfo confirmed the removal of profile picture saving feature on Twitter.

WhatsApp Removes Profile Picture Saving Feature

According to WABetaInfo, the feature has been removed in the recent Android Beta versions, but am personally using WhatsApp Beta on a OnePlus 7 Pro with version number- 2.19.143, and the feature is still present. However, some users on Twitter are complaining that the feature removal from older beta versions itself. Having said that, WABetaInfo states the feature has been removed officially from latest Android Beta versions and WhatsApp Business Beta for iOS 2.19.60.5. So, it’s an official change from the company.

However, on the brighter side, users can still save the profile picture of a group, which is a good thing. WhatsApp removed this feature on the beta version of both Android and Business iOS, so if you want to enjoy the feature, all you’ve to do is to install the stable version as it might take another few weeks for the company to remove it from the stable version. That being said, you can always take a screenshot of the profile picture, which is the best alternative right now.
