WhatsApp will soon add feature to filter group chats; check details

Meta-owned WhatsApp is currently working on a new feature to help users filter their group chats.

Recently, the app has introduced various new features, including chat locking, chat transfers, and more.

The latest WhatsApp update, version 2.23.19.7, is available through the Google Play Beta Program and introduces chat filters.

According to WABetaInfo, this new feature aims to give users more control over their conversations, making it easier to manage and prioritise messages.

It is important to note that this feature is still in development.

With the new filter, users can create a list of their group chats while excluding individual conversations.

To make things clearer, the "Personal" filter has been renamed to "Contacts" and now exclusively includes individual chats.

Additionally, there is a dedicated 'Groups' tab and an 'Unread' tab filter that users can select on the front page.

In addition to chat filters, WhatsApp is actively working on other features, such as email verification and the option to hide IP addresses during calls.
