In recent months, the feature was said to be in development, but still unavailable to beta testers. However, the messaging platform’s latest beta update for Android changes everything and makes it available to multiple beta testers. This is the latest beta feature to be rolled out to testers on the platform, and it also comes with the ability to block messages from unknown accounts, while other theme improvements are still in development.
