New WhatsApp feature people are praising as a 'godsend' for group chats

A brand new privacy feature has just dropped on WhatsApp, and will be rolling out to thousands of users across the month of August.

The new addition is being praised as a 'godsend' for those who want to leave a chat discreetly without the hassle of a private message pinging in moments after departing - 'Why did you leave the chat?'.

As part of the newest update, users will be given the option to leave group chats without notifying other members, and control who can see when they are online as well.
