- After releasing the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.17.21 update, WhatsApp is also rolling out past group participants to some Android beta testers. In addition, as it happens on WhatsApp beta for Android, the in-chat event that shows up when someone leaves a group is only visible to group admins.

In our opinion, this is the best news of the week enabled to users:
