WhatsApp Rolls Out Permanent Chat List Filters for Easier Navigation
WhatsApp, the popular messaging platform Meta owns, has introduced a significant user interface (UI) update, ensuring that chat list filters remain permanently visible for seamless access. This update is rolling out to select beta testers and will reach more users in the coming weeks.
A Permanent Place For WhatsApp Chat List Filters
Until now, users needed to scroll through their conversation list and find chat filters manually. From now on, filters will be pinned to make it easier for users to switch to unread messages, personal chats, work chats, and group chats without scrolling too much across the hidden navigation functions.
New UI Update Improves WhatsApp Chat Navigation
The latest WhatsApp update makes chat management easier by enabling you to check your unread messages across various filters in real time, as shared by WABetaInfo. This means that users no longer have to scroll through the chat list to check for new messages.
Better Organizing Your Chats — for Personal and Business Users
This feature will help greatly improve workflow efficiency for businesses and professionals that have to deal with multiple chat threads. This allows users to organize better and respond to chats based on the category they fall in, ultimately reducing wait times.
Early Access to WhatsApp Beta Users
Other beta testers may notice as well that the ‘Favourites’ filter is being automatically placed before secondary filters. This change enables users to pin their most important contacts as favorites for easy access without any manual reordering required.
When Will the New WhatsApp Feature Be Live?
Users who want to try out this new feature will need to download the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.4.12 update from the Google Play Store. The update is gradually rolling out to a wider audience over the coming weeks. The constant UI improvements in WhatsApp are proof of their commitment to providing a better user experience and helping users navigate chats without any hindrances while keeping that experience tailormade for both personal as well as professional users.
