What are chat filters?
Chat filters are tools integrated into messaging apps like WhatsApp that allow users to categorize and manage conversations based on specific criteria. They work similarly to filters used in e-commerce platforms or email services, helping users improve communication and quickly focus on significant messages.
How to employ chat filters in WhatsApp?
WhatsApp chat filters offer three main categories:
- All: This default view displays all chats, including individual and group conversations.
- Unread: This filter highlights messages that users haven’t read or responded to yet, helping you prioritize urgent chats.
- Groups: : This category brings all your group chats together in one place, making it straightforward to access and manage your group chats separately from your individual chats.
A WhatsApp spokesperson highlighted the usefulness of chat filters, stating: “We believe filters will support people stay organized and find the conversations that matter most, and support them navigate their messages more efficiently.”
Access to chat filters
Open WhatsApp on your smartphone and go to the Chats screen.
Benefits of chat filters
- Effective organization: Categorize conversations for streamlined management.
- Priority highlighting: Immediately identify and respond to significant messages.
- Manage a group chat: Separate group discussions for better focus.
Other WhatsApp updates
Apart from chat filters, WhatsApp is also introducing other recent features such as an improved UI sidebar and upcoming artificial intelligence features powered by Meta AI. These improvements are intended to further improve the user experience and functionality of the messaging platform.
With these tools, WhatsApp users can navigate their messages more efficiently, ensuring that significant conversations are easily accessed and prioritized.
