WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.26.13.3 Introduces Online Contacts List
WhatsApp is testing a handy new feature that lets users view all their currently online contacts in one dedicated spot, making it easier to connect in real time.

WhatsApp continues to roll out updates through its beta program, with version 2.26.13.3 for Android now revealing an exciting upcoming tool. The messaging app is developing a feature that displays a clear list of contacts who are active and online right now.
This addition aims to simplify starting conversations by showing at a glance who is available, without needing to check individual chat windows. Users will likely access it through a new hub or tab designed specifically for this purpose.
The change should prove especially useful for those who frequently message friends, family, or colleagues and want to reach them when they are most responsive. As with many beta experiments, the feature is still in development and will arrive in a future stable update for all users.
WhatsApp has been focusing on small but practical improvements lately to enhance everyday interactions on the platform. This online contacts list fits that pattern by saving time and reducing guesswork around availability.
