WhatsApp has introduced a new ‘Favorite Chats’ filter for its Android beta testers, aimed at enhancing user experience by allowing easy access to important conversations and groups. This feature, available in version 2.24.12.7, initially rolled out for the calls tab, is now extended to the chats tab.
The ‘Favorite Chats’ filter enables users to quickly find their most significant chats, including both individual contacts and groups. Users can add favorites directly within the chats tab or manage them through a dedicated ‘Favorites’ section in the app settings. This section allows for the adding, removing, or reordering of contacts and groups, and chats can also be added to favorites from the chat info screen for convenience.
This update is currently available to beta testers and will gradually roll out to more users in the coming days. This feature is part of WhatsApp’s ongoing efforts to enhance user experience and streamline the organization of important conversations.
