WhatsApp has just announced the launch of an exciting new feature: chat filters. These filters will help you organise your chat list based on different criteria.
There are three filters available, conveniently located above your chat list for easy access with just one tap. They are named All, Unread, and Groups.
Tapping on All will display all your chats. If you select Unread, you will only see chats with unread messages (whether you haven’t opened a chat since new messages arrived or those you’ve marked as unread). Choosing Groups will show only your group chats and subgroups of communities.
WhatsApp aims to make finding the right conversation in its app feel fast, seamless, and simple, and these filters will definitely contribute to that. You’ll have less scrolling to do!
The chat filters are beginning to roll out today and will be available to all WhatsApp users “in the coming weeks”.
