WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature which is now in testing right now. This feature will enable users to contact it directly within the app to get support from the company. According to the company, the company has started rolling out a new feature dubbed as ‘in-app support’ that will enable users to do just that. In-app support chat will allow users to contact and receive support within a WhatsApp chat. WhatsApp beta testers on both platforms are now seeing the option to get support from the service via this feature.

In-App Support Chat Beta Testing
Earlier reports from WABetaInfo hinted that the company’s new in-app support feature will help users and the Meta-owned messaging app manage bug reports. Moreover, the blog site also suggested that the company’s new support feature or ‘Support Chat Threads’ will be verified. It will be end-to-end encrypted chats and they’ll be closed after the issue that they have been opened to address has been fixed.
Now, contacting the Meta-owned platform by visiting Settings > Help > Contact us now displays a message to beta testers on both platforms. It states: “We will respond to you in a WhatsApp chat”. WhatsApp contacts users via in-app support messaging through its verified account. It also carries a green tick mark to prove the message is actually from WhatsApp.

It will help to diagnose an issue, and users can opt-out of sharing these details with the messaging service. According to the feature tracker, in-app support chat includes your network connection details (4G LTE, 5G or Wi-Fi) as well as the version of WhatsApp and your model number.
