Meanwhile, WhatsApp is reportedly rolling out a new 'side-by-side' feature on Android tablets for some beta testers.
This feature will allow users to switch between conversations without losing track of their ongoing chats, providing more control over the WhatsApp interface on their Android tablets.
Users can also disable the side-by-side view by toggling the option available within -- WhatsApp Settings > Chats.
