Sometimes you forget to read a message on WhatsApp, perhaps because you didn’t see it among all those messages. Luckily, there’s an easy way to filter your chat list for unread messages.

Almost every week, WhatsApp releases or announces new features, such as more secure voice messages and a secret code for chat lock. But there are also plenty of features and tips that you may not know about yet, but that have been there for some time. From now on you can also read them every week on pcvactive.nl. For example: do you, like me, have at least 10 WhatsApp messages every day and sometimes up to 50 in one day? Then it can happen that you miss a WhatsApp message. With the filter Unread for the chat list you can quickly view all your unread chats. To filter for unread chats, you need a recent version of WhatsApp on your device.
