WhatsApp gets new function in January 2022
Telegram introduced the spoiler function that allows it to fold messages in the chat. This is especially useful for serial fans who want to replace the latest episode, although may not all chat participants are up-to-date.
However, it has already been suggested that this feature will never give this feature at WhatsApp. The Messenger could still be more popular in the future: because a WhatsApp alternative to the photo will be shipped this year.
