Redesigned Report Layout

Now WhatsApp has pushed its latest beta version 2.18.246 for Android users which comes with a redesigned report functionality available for both individual and group chats. After this new update, now users will have the option of exiting a group or blocking a particular user on the alert box when they decide to report a specific user. The thing to note here is that now users who choose to report on WhatsApp will have the option of retaining the chat history for these reported groups or chats, something which wasn’t previously possible on WhatsApp.

How to Use Report Feature

A blog informing about WhatsApp’s latest updates, WABetaInfo released the information in public about this new update concerning the report feature on the app. If you want to report a particular group or person on WhatsApp, head over to their chat or open the group. Tap on the View contact option and then click on Report after scrolling down to the bottom. Follow similar method for groups as well by tapping on the View group info option and then selecting Report.

Also, it was spotted on the beta version that the report option only showed up for chats whose contacts were saved with the users. For messages coming in from unsaved contacts, just the block option was spotted. In case you are curious to know more about the feature and want to test it hands-on, you can go and opt for the WhatsApp Beta Program on Google Play, or you can also download the APK from APK mirror.
