New function also changes interface: WhatsApp introduces heart symbol. New symbol appears in the phone list for the first time in WhatsApp version 2.24.7.18 for Android phones.
The icon shows a heart with the descriptive text “Add to Favorites” So far it is only available to beta users of the messenger. But WhatsApp also wants to better protect the privacy of users by hiding their online status. Thanks to an EU regulation, WhatsApp users will soon be able to chat with other messengers such as Signal and Telegram.
