San Francisco: Facebook-owned WhatsApp is testing a new beta update for iOS users which would bring features like hide muted status update, splash screen, and app badge improvements among others, according to WABetaInfo, a fan website that tracks WhatsApp updates.

“I always recommend to back up your chat history before updating to the new beta: if there is something wrong with the update, your messages are safe on iCloud and you can downgrade to the precedent version from TestFlight or App Store,” WABetaInfo reported on Friday.
###
WhatsApp’s new splash screen would essentially let users see the WhatsApp logo whenever they open the app on their iPhones.
###
This is also available on the Android beta app.
###
The update also showed how text bubbles would look in dark mode on WhatsApp.
###
This was first available on beta version for Android. The company is expected to introduce dark mode for users globally soon
