WhatsApp has added a new feature that makes it easier to focus on what’s important. You need to know this.
New feature in WhatsApp
Earlier this year, WhatsApp added the new chat filters feature, making the chats in the app a lot clearer. The feature that follows is an extension of these chat filters and offers a more personalized way to manage your messages. The new feature is called Lists.
This new feature in WhatsApp allows you to filter your chats with custom categories of your choice. Whether that’s a list for your family, work, or neighborhood, the Lists feature helps you focus on the conversations that matter most, when you need them.
This is how the Lists feature works
The new feature in WhatsApp works very simply: to create a custom List, tap the plus sign in the filter bar on the Chats tab. You can add both individual contacts and group chats to your Lists, just like you use Favorites. For example, you can create separate Lists for family members, colleagues, or neighborhood groups so you can quickly find important chats in your inbox.
New Lists appear next to existing chat filters such as ‘All’, ‘Unread’, ‘Favorites’ and ‘Groups’ in the filter bar. To make changes, simply long-press on a List name to edit its contents, allowing you to add or remove conversations as needed. The new Lists feature in WhatsApp is currently being rolled out and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
In addition to this new feature, WhatsApp recently also added a new widget for your iPhone. After updating to version 24.21.81 or higher you can add the widget to your home screen. This gives you quick access to recent chats, favorites, pinned conversations, or friends you often interact with right from your iPhone’s home screen.
