The Private Reply feature was removed from the beta version of WhatsApp after a few days. Since then, speculations were being made that this feature will soon be made a part of WhatsApp. But after almost a year, this messaging platform has rolled out the private reply feature for its Android beta users. This feature will be liked by those people who want to send a private message to someone in that group during a group chat. They also want that all the members of the group should not know about it.

After this, you will have to tap the menu with three dots visible on the top right corner. This is where you will get the option of private reply. As soon as you select this option. The message you select will open as a reply thread in the sender’s private chat window.
