WhatsApp introduces Chat Filters to help find messages faster

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced the launch of new chat filters for Whatsapp. This has been done with the view to help users find the right conversation in a quick, seamless, and simple manner on Whatsapp.

As people increasingly do more on WhatsApp, it’s more important than ever before to be able to get to one’s messages fast. With the new Chat Filters, users can do that without having to scroll through the full inbox.

To start, users can choose between three filters that will appear at the top of their chat list – All, Unread, Groups – which can be selected with just a tap.

All: The default view of all the messages.

Unread: Perfect for when users want to see which conversations they need to catch up on or respond to. It shows messages that are either marked by the user as unread or haven’t been opened yet, so that they can prioritize their responses.

Groups: A highly requested feature, now all group chats will be organized in one place, making it easier to find the favourite ones, whether it’s a weekly family dinner discussion or planning one’s next vacation. This will also show subgroups of Communities.

WhatsApp believes that these filters will make it easier for people to stay organized and find their most important conversations and help navigate through messages more efficiently.
