WhatsApp Recent Online Contacts Feature: Meta's popular messaging app WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature where it will allow its users to see which contacts were online recently through the Contacts page.

Meta is constantly updating WhatsApp features to improve the user experience and enhance security. This latest addition is expected to give users a faster way to connect with friends, family, and colleagues who are currently available for instant chat. This new ‘Recent Online Contacts’ tab was first spotted by WABetaInfo, a platform that tracks upcoming features and changes for WhatsApp.

Many WhatsApp beta users have also reportedly started seeing this new tab, which allows them to view recent online contacts from their contact list. Although this feature does not show a complete list of your contacts, it is quite useful for those users who want to know the current status of any particular person in order to call or message them.

WABetaInfo also noticed that when you go to your contacts list to add people to a call, you'll still see some recent online contacts with whom you haven't yet communicated. The report claims that this is not a big list and it respects the privacy settings of the user regarding his online status.
