WhatsApp beta hints at scrollable Android chat previews.

Sometimes you want to check what’s in a chat without letting the other person know you’ve read it. Android Authority says WhatsApp’s Android beta code points to a long-press preview that could show recent messages while leaving them unread, alongside a refreshed context menu. The useful twist is that the preview may scroll, letting you move up to inspect more of the conversation. The iOS preview described in the reports doesn’t scroll. For now, this is a feature indicated by beta code, not a released tool, and there’s no release date.
