What Is the Message Reminders Feature ?

The Message Reminders feature notifies users about unread messages that may have been missed in their chat list. Whether it’s due to work or other distractions, this feature ensures important messages don’t go unnoticed.

Originally introduced for unseen status updates, the reminders feature has now been extended to cover messages. However, the rollout is currently limited to select beta users on Android. A wider release for all users is expected soon.


How Does It Work?

According to a report by WABetainfo, a platform tracking WhatsApp’s upcoming features, this functionality is included in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.25.29, available via the Google Play Store.

The new Reminders toggle is integrated into WhatsApp’s notification settings. When enabled, users will receive periodic reminders for both unread messages and unseen statuses.
