WhatsApp Gets Chat Filters for Unread and Group Messages

The WhatsApp Messenger app has been updated with 'Chat Filters', giving users the ability to quickly find unread and group messages.

Opening WhatsApp and finding the right conversation should feel quick, seamless, and simple. As people increasingly do more on WhatsApp, it's more important than ever before to be able to get to your messages fast. That's why today we're launching new Chat Filters so you can do that without having to scroll through your full inbox.

To start, you can choose between three filters that will appear at the top of your chat list: All, Unread, and Groups...


● All: The default view of all your messages.
● Unread: Perfect for when you want to see which conversations you need to catch up on or respond to. It shows messages that are either marked by you as unread or haven't been opened yet, so you can prioritize your responses.
● Groups: A highly requested feature, now all your group chats will be organized in one place, making it easier to find your favorite ones whether it's your weekly family dinner discussion or planning your next vacation. This will also show subgroups of Communities.

These are starting to roll out to users today, and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.

You can download WhatsApp Messenger from the App Store for free.
