It is nearly ten years since the launch of the app and WhatsApp is getting better day by day as the company adding new features. Recently, WhatsApp introduced the new stickers feature to improve communication with more fun.

For now, Private Reply feature is a part of the latest v2.18.335 Beta update and it is available only for the WhatsApp beta users. If you want to try it now then just install the new beta version from this link and install the beta APK on your device. To use this feature, just select a particular message within the WhatsApp group and tap on three dots at the top right corner to see the Reply Privately option. Clicking on Reply Privately will redirect the user to the message in the chat window of the sender. The feature works similar to Reply messages but is enabled within the group chat option to privately answer to the sender of a message. Interestingly, this Reply Privately feature also works even in the closed group.

However, few sites reported that the update comes with a major bug. The WhatsApp reportedly crashes whenever the user deletes a particular media message from a group. But we could not verify the bug in this update.
