Many users often find it challenging to locate a specific contact within their WhatsApp chat list. While WhatsApp already offers Chat Filters, the functionality has been somewhat limited, only allowing users to sort chats by whether they have been read or unread, by contact or non-contact, and by group chats. However, WhatsApp has now launched a new feature called Chat Lists.
How to Use WhatsApp’s Chat Lists Feature
This new feature enhances the existing chat filters introduced earlier this year, facilitating quicker message searches. With custom lists, users can categorize chats according to their preferences. For instance, you can create lists for family, work, neighbors, and more.
Creating a new chat list on WhatsApp is quite simple. Just tap the “+” button in the filter bar on the Chats tab. To edit an existing list, press and hold on to it. Similar to favorites, users can add both group chats and individual conversations to any list they create. All your custom lists will be displayed in the filter bar.
This feature is being rolled out gradually over the coming weeks. You can check for WhatsApp’s latest updates to see if it’s available for you, and try out this feature as soon as you can access it.
