WhatsApp announced on Tuesday that they are introducing the new chat filters. These chat filters will make the managing of the different types of messages like All, Unread and Group messages more efficient.
According to WhatsApp, these filters will make people stay organized and quite helpful in searching the important conversations that need to be answered quickly.
When this feature was not launched there was a hidden way of finding the unread messages but the introduction of these filters will make the work more simple and easier. Now you do not need to go through the process of searching for certain unread messages through menus, instead, you just need to click on the Unread and you will get all unread messages.
The All filter is selected by default and it will show the unfiltered version of your chats. As the name indicates, The Unread filter will help you in getting the unread chats. This unread filter will also help you in removing the bunch of unread chat indicators.
The third filter is the group filter which is one of the most demanded features. These features help in quickly scrolling through your group chats. This will also help in filtering the conversations that are present in the communities.
The users who use Gmail will find these filter bubbles familiar as this feature was introduced in 2020 in email services to make searching more efficient.
It was recently reported that WhatsApp is making other filters like Contacts to filter out the messages of unknown people. The ‘Favorite’ filter is marked as frequently used contacts and you will see the custom chat filters that will help you find the chat or conversation more quickly instead of reading each message one by one.
If you want to remove the applied filter, then you will need to change it into another filter or exit the app and reopen it.
Back in 2022, these filters were under development and now it is officially related to WhatsApp. Unfortunately, you need to wait for more to get these filters for contacts and non-contacts.
WhatsApp is working on different features to make its app more user friendly.
Before it was criticized for its unfriendly user interface that made it difficult for users to manage their chats and contacts they faced difficulties when they switched to other phones or when they needed to add new contacts. But now WhatsApp is keeping improving itself and making this app more flexible and easy to use.
This WhatsApp filter is rolling out for users today for a few users and will be widely available for all users within a few weeks.
