Popular texting platform WhatsApp has just rolled out a new Favorites filter that enables users to find chats quickly from those who mean the most.
The filter not only lets you find the conversations swiftly but also enables users to connect with them directly through a call from a tab at the top.
The feature was first rolled out yesterday and is going to continue being released to the masses over the upcoming weeks as mentioned by the company recently. Hence, stay tuned!
The option allows users to keep tabs on their chats with friends and family under a single roof that can be accessed quickly or without delay. And the fact that there’s a new favorites tab included on calls means you can indulge in speed dialing of contacts that they consider important.
There is no need to simply go back to recent call history or search up the contact through the address book. It’s like simplicity and convenience at your fingertips, the popular instant messaging platform mentioned.
If you’re looking to include contacts or groups to a favorites list, all you need to do is select this new filter that’s present on the chat screen or press Add Favorite. This is after the selection of the specific contact or group is done through Calls.
Long-tapping the chat also enables it to be included in the Favorites filter when you press the ‘add to favorite’ option. The app is also rolling out an innovative option to manage contacts and groups by simply entering settings, clicking on favorites, and pressing add to favorites. These would be re-ordered depending on the user’s preference at any given point in time.
The feature was first noticed by tech experts as being tested in February of this year for both web users and those with iPhones. Soon after that, it was seen appearing on Android too in April.
The news for this new and exciting feature comes just three months after we saw the platform roll out chat filters for all of its users. The app first released filter options like All, Unread, and Groups that would be popular. But now, there’s a new Favorites edition that ensures useful chats are highlighted and easily accessible.
Many users will find this helpful as they were on the lookout for a quick and reliable means to swiftly make calls or chats to those that they consider important through the app, especially in those cases where there is no native filter present.
