WhatsApp testing custom lists feature to filter chats
WhatsApp Beta 2.24.18.16 version teases an upcoming feature to filter chats through custom lists. The company seems to be exploring a new feature, letting users filter chats through lists. The feature will join WhatsApp with a future update.
WABetaInfo reports that WhatsApp will automatically generate a new custom filter at the top of the chats list. It will happen post-creation of a list of people and group chats, so you can quickly locate and access specific conversations.
Notably, the filter will share the same name as the list so you can immediately recognize and select the appropriate filter to view only the chats associated with that particular list. The following graphics will help you understand the feature better way.
Once done, you will have quick access to relevant chats through a custom filter list. It will reduce many distractions, allowing you to focus on only important chats. You won’t need to scroll through long lists of conversations to find out chats.
As of now, the feature has been received by a limited number of Beta testers. After ensuring functional stability, WhatsApp will include it in a future update. There are many more changes under development for consumers.
