WhatsApp users will soon be able to reply privately to individuals in group chats, rather than starting a separate conversation with the fellow chat participant.

According to WABetaInfo, the messaging service has introduced a new feature called 'Reply Privately' which lets users reply in a group with a message that will only be seen by the intended recipient.
