PAST PARTICIPANTS
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 22.14.0.70 update, we explained that WhatsApp is working on the ability to silently leave groups without notified other group participants, except group admins that can still see who left the group. But all group members will still be able to see who leaves the group by using a feature called "past participants":
We already anticipated this feature in a previous changelog of WhatsApp beta for Android, and the feature is now under development on WhatsApp beta for iOS as well. But there is more: thanks to this screenshot, you can understand that all group members will be able to view who left the group in the past 60 days by opening this new section that will be available right within group info. So, past participants will be removed from this list after 60 days.
This feature is under development so we don't know when it will be released. As always, a new changelog will be posted on this website when we have further details to share with you.
In addition, this update should also bring some bug fixes about auto-downloading voice notes but if you're still experiencing this issue, let us know.
