New WhatsApp Updates: Vacation Mode, Silent Mode and Linked Account

Recently, i had a report that Whatsapp is about to launch Dark Mode for its application and as we are waiting for the coming of the Whatsapp Dark Mode, the popular messaging app is also working on other features according to reports. This features are Linked account features, Vacation Mode and Silent Mode.

Vacation Mode: Vacation Mode is still in development and is based on the Silent Mode. When it’s enabled, Vacation Mode will prevent archived chat sessions from becoming active again once a new message is received.


Once it’s enabled from your WhatsApp Notification Settings, archived chats won’t be un-archived if you have previously muted them!

The Vacation mode is also useful if you don’t want a specific chat in your Chats List: if you mute and archive it, you will never see it again, except if you view your Archived Chats.

Silent Mode: Silent Mode allows you to hide the app badge for muted chats which is already enabled for everyone. Apparently, Silent Mode is enabled by default, so there’s no option in the Settings menu that you need to activate.

Linked Accounts: Linked Accounts will allow users to link their Instagram and WhatsApp accounts. However, we still don’t know what’s the purpose of this feature but it may allow you to recover your Facebook/Instagram account using WhatsApp and will allow you to automatically share your status updates in Instagram

Once available, the linked account option will be located under your profile settings.
