Facebook-owned social messaging platform; WhatsApp has been reportedly said to be bringing its Picture-in-Picture mode to desktops through a new update to the WhatsApp Web client. The new update is also reported to add the option to let users privately reply to a message they received in a group.

Earlier this month, WhatsApp was found to include a ‘Restricted Groups’ settings to help administrators restrict group members from sending text messages, photographs, video, GIFs, documents, or voice messages. This feature helps administrators block members that keep sending content that might be suitable to everyone in the group or content that is forbidden in the group. Unlike removing them from the group for simply breaking some of the rules, restricting them might be the best option.

According to a brief report by WABetaInfo; popular knowing for tracking new WhatsApp features, they submitted the version 0.2.7315 of its Web client that includes the two new features. The first in the series is the Picture-in-Picture mode that lets users watch videos in a separate pop-up screen that includes controls such as a play/ pause button, volume controller, and timeline slider.
