WhatsApp Chat Filter Feature: Nowadays, most of the people around the world have started using the instant messaging platform WhatsApp. With the help of this app, you can connect with your friends and relatives in a jiffy. According to reports, this app is now being used in more than 180 countries around the world. If you have been using this platform since the beginning, you would know that this platform was not always like this. Many changes have been made in it over time. Due to these changes, the experience of users in using this app has completely changed.
The instant messaging platform owned by Meta keeps developing new features every now and then to improve the experience of WhatsApp users. If a report by WABetaInfo is to be believed, the company has rolled out an update through the Google Play Beta program. This update shows that WhatsApp is working on a feature to filter group chats. The report also says that this feature will be available with the upcoming update.
With the chat filter feature, WhatsApp aims to provide users with better control over their conversations. With this facility it will also become easier to manage and prioritize their messages. The WhatsApp chat filter feature is still in the development phase but the report states that improvements regarding this feature have been discovered in version 2.23.19.7 of WhatsApp for Android users.
How WhatsApp group chat filter works: The report presented includes a screenshot that explains how this feature will work. According to the screenshot, WhatsApp will add a new filter that will allow users to skip individual chats and get a list of their groups.
According to the information revealed, users will also be able to see that the name of the Individual filter has been changed to Contacts to provide a major difference between individual chat and group chat. This will be like the individual filter which in the past also included groups and communities. Instead, the new contact filter will only include individual conversations. Apart from this, WhatsApp has also removed the “Business” filter.
How will this feature be helpful: WhatsApp users often join multiple groups for various purposes, including work, family, friends, and hobbies. With the ability to filter groups, users will also be able to quickly find and organize their chats. The dedicated filter will help users quickly access and manage their group conversations and they will also find that this filter specifically includes group chats.
