    Want privacy in WhatsApp groups? Here's the secret feature

    What's the story

    WhatsApp's "Reply Privately" feature is a convenient option for Android users who want to respond to a message in group chats, but don't want their reply to be seen by everyone in the group.

    This feature enables a more direct and private interaction, facilitating a one-on-one conversation with the sender of a specific message.

    Here is how you can use this feature step by step.

    Select and Hold

    Accessing the 'Reply Privately' option

    Open WhatsApp and click on your group chat.

    Locate the message you want to privately respond to.

    Long press it until a menu pops up at the top of your screen with a few options.

    Here, you'll see several actions, including "Reply privately."

    Selecting this opens a new chat window with the sender, quoting the original message for context in your private conversation.

    Menu and send

    Initiating a private reply

    Long press the chosen message, then tap the three dots in the top right of the screen. A menu with options will appear.

    Tap "Reply privately." This will open a new chat with the message sender, quoting the original message for context.

    Just type your response in the text field and hit send! Your message will be privately sent to the individual, maintaining discretion outside of the group chat.
