WhatsApp introduced filters on Tuesday, making it easier to organise chats from groups and individual chats. Available for both Android and iOS devices, the new filters help categorise read, unread, and group messages. They can be accessed at the top of the WhatsApp home screen, facilitating quicker access to the right message.
The update is currently rolling out to select users and will soon be available for everyone.
WhatsApp currently offers three chat filters: “read” containing all read messages from individual chats and groups, “unread” with all unopened messages from individual chats and groups, and “groups” featuring groups with unread messages at the top.
WhatsApp has been testing this feature among beta users for a while now, and it is now available for all. According to a Facebook post by Mark Zuckerberg, ‘Rolling out chat filters on WhatsApp so you can find important messages fast.’ If you haven’t gained access to these new chat filters on WhatsApp yet, make sure to update the app to the latest version via the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
WhatsApp is also introducing several other new features, including a revamped sidebar on the web user interface. Similarly, the company is testing various new AI features powered by Meta AI, though these are currently limited to select users.
The upcoming AI features on WhatsApp include a ChatGPT-like chatbot, and an AI image generator, powered by Meta’s Llama. These features are currently under beta testing and are available for select Android and iOS users.
