WhatsApp beta for Android hints at Mark as read and Mute shortcuts in notification center

WhatsApp is rolling out a new beta update for Android which hints at a feature that the company is working on. The app might soon get a new 'mark as read' shortcut in notification center, however, it is not available yet since it still under development. Whenever you get a new WhatsApp message, you just see 'reply' shortcut currently, but WhatsApp is working on a new shortcut to include in your Notification Center. When you receive some messages from your contacts, you will see the 'Mark as Read' shortcut and, as the name suggests, it allows to quickly mark the message as read directly from your notification center. This new button will join the 'reply' button and be clear, this feature is currently not available. The company will also bring a new mute button in the Notification Center. This way you can easily mute a chat from the notification center directly. However, we don't know how it looks at the moment. Source
