The innovation is still in the testing phase. This will hopefully be distributed in the near future.
Whatsapp is a popular instant messaging application that is used both at work and in leisure time. Jonathan Raa
The instant messaging service Whatsapp is getting a makeover. In the future, you can use more than one profile in Whatsapp.
With the reform, for example, work-related conversations can be moved under another profile, so with the help of the feature, work time no longer flows so easily into free time.
The feature is familiar from Instagram, where you can also create several profiles for different purposes. For example, artists may have their own accounts on the service to display their art and share their personal lives.
Whatsapp and Instagram are services owned by Meta.
The story continues after the video.
Clearer boundaries for free time
The application is used in several workplaces, for example, to communicate about work tasks, and those in the message thread may follow messages semi-accidentally even in their free time.
Among other things, the service industry trade union (PAM) and the supervisors’ union have pointed out the matter.
– Whatsapp monitoring, when it is related to work tasks or if monitoring is required, is always working time, in the publication of the union of supervisors it is stated.
According to PAM, information about the next shift may be shared in Whatsapp, for example.
– Rarely leave work messages unread even when they are free, even if the employer does not require it, In the publication of PAM it is said.
Of course, the reform only makes it possible for work messages not to be sent to the personal account. It remains the responsibility of the user whether to open a profile for work messages.
The WhatsApp update is still in the testing phase, and currently available for Android business versions of Whatsapp. Told about the reform WABetainfo however, I think that after the testing phase, the feature will also become more widely available.
