Leaker website WABetaInfo claims that WhatsApp is working on support for third-party chats, which will be coming to a future version of the messaging app.

In its report, the website includes a screenshot of a new section in the beta version of the app. The section is largely empty, but has a heading that reads “Third-party chats”, indicating that the feature is a work in progress.
