In a bid to improve user experience, WhatsApp has introduced a new 'Favorite Chats' filter for its Android beta testers. The feature, available in version 2.24.12.7, allows users to easily access their most important conversations and groups.
Initially available for the calls tab, the feature has now been extended to the chats tab, enabling users to quickly find their favourite chats, including individual contacts and groups. This feature is a significant step towards prioritising and organising the most relevant conversations on WhatsApp.
To make it even more convenient, users can add favourites directly within the chats tab or through a dedicated 'Favorites' section in the app settings.
This section allows users to manage their favourite chats by adding, removing, or reordering contacts and groups. Additionally, users can also add chats to favourites directly from the chat info screen, making it a quick and easy process.
The update is currently being rolled out to beta testers, and will gradually become available to more users in the coming days. However, it may not be instantly accessible to everyone.
This new feature is part of WhatsApp's efforts to enhance user experience and make it easier for users to stay connected with their loved ones and important groups."
