WhatsApp has released a new update with version number 2.19.110. The update fixes a minor bug - but one feature is missing.
Let's get straight to the flaw. Even though a chat is muted, the badge counter on the app icon is still activated. If you are in a lot of groups and use the "mute" feature, you will know what I mean. Lots of groups mean lots of messages - the badge counter quickly shows unrealistic numbers. That's annoying, isn't it? WhatsApp has fixed the problem with update 2.19.110. According to this, only the actual number of messages that are pushed through will be shown in the badge counter. Muted chats will therefore remain completely silent from now on.
Option in privacy settings missing
The change is small but nice. But now let's get to a missing feature. We recently reported on a change in the privacy settings reported. Users can now decide for themselves who can add them to groups. It was expected that WhatsApp would integrate the function in the next update, but no such luck. Version 2.19.110 does not include the option. There is also still no trace of dark mode, neither in the final nor in the beta version for iOS. Below you will find the list of all changes verbatim.
