WhatsApp has launched a new feature in one of its Beta versions. We are talking about a notification dedicated to birthdays very similar to that of Facebook. Not only that: WhatsApp should also have a section with a summary of all the birthdays in the address book.
Once Facebook was enough. Among the most popular functions in golden years of the first social network launched by Mark Zuckerberg there was the birthday reminders. A surgical notification, sent on the birthday of a contact who he remembered to wish him well. At that point the choice was always twofold: settle for a comment to leave on the bulletin board of the contact or go the extra mile and write a message. Now Facebook users have changed. The first generations migrated to Instagram, the average age has risen and the functions for which it is used are a little different from the beginning. Fewer seaside holiday albums, more groups on vertical topics.
Meta now seems intent on bringing back that feature but on another product: WhatsApp. The blog WABetaInfo posted an update on notifications for i birthdays spotted in one version Beta of the application. Let’s remember: Beta versions are tests, drafts if you like, of a code. They are distributed to a small number of users to test the public’s reaction and understand if there may be bugs. We have seen many functions pass through the Beta Tests. Some have remained in the testing phase, others have also arrived in the official version.
How the WhatsApp section dedicated to birthdays works
The new function was discovered in the version of WhatsApp for Android number 2.26.27.3. From the screenshots that have been released, the name we find is Birthdays. It seems like a separate section where we can see all the day by day birthdays of our contacts. Not only that. Just like on Facebook, we should also receive a notification on a contact’s birthday. In fact it is a convenient choice: probably once we receive the notification WhatsApp will also allow us to send a message directly to the contact. The only point to understand is where the information about the birthday is taken from: according to the first analyzes they should be the same users to indicate the birthday date in their address book.
