It can sometimes feel as if we’re all drowning in unnecessary notifications.
But now WhatsApp is preparing to offer users a simple way of cutting through the rubbish and only getting alerts they want to see.
It’s reportedly working on a system called ‘Notification Channel’ which will let you sort incoming message into 10 categories, according to Android Police.
Each of these categories will feature its own settings, which means you’ll be to mute ones which are annoying and make sure you see important messages.
The categories include group notifications, Message Notifications, Chat History Backup, Critical App Alerts, Failure Notifications, Media Playback, Uncategorised, Other Notifications, Sending Media, and Silent Notifications.
You will have the capacity to check a few classes as earnest, which implies messages which fly up on your cell phone screen and make a sound.
There will likewise be prominent messages which make a sound, medium which are noiseless yet demonstrate a message on screen and low need which does not one or the other.
Notice Channels are accessible on the beta form of the application, which implies it could possibly be formally discharged in the coming weeks or months.
In case you're a piece of WhatApp's beta test conspire, you can attempt the new component by tapping and holding a warning when it comes in.
