Since the feature is still in development and has not been released to the general public for testing, there is, at the moment, no target release date, and no certainty that the change will actually be implemented. However, according to WABetaInfo, the novelty may soon arrive on WhatsApp Desktop beta.
The change can be useful for instant identification of a participant in the conversation. Also, if there are duplicate names in the group, the tool also helps in distinguishing between the different members. Also, if the user sends a message, but due to the privacy settings his photo is not available, the photo will be replaced by the messaging icon, with the same color specified for the contact.
