For several months we have known that WhatsApp will give a privileged place to your favorite contacts and now we know exactly where: the new favorite search filterabove the discussion list.
This search filter will allow us to quickly find the discussions of our close friends, if we have a large discussion list. It’s an alternative to setting up chat conversations.
A filter for your favorite friends
Although WhatsApp allows you to talk to friends, acquaintances, businesses and even strangers, it can be more difficult. find the chats of your closest contactsafter being buried under other, more active conversations.
The solution to this will be a new WhatsApp filter called favorites, which we can access, like the rest, from the top of our chats, by sliding slightly downwards. Until now we had the filters All, Not read Yes Groupswho will be joined Favorites.
Favorites will show us the chats (read or unread) of contacts we marked as favoritessomething we can do directly from the filter, by pressing Add to favorites. In previous leaks, we have seen that these favorite contacts will also appear highlighted when starting a new call from the floating button and possibly also when starting a new chat conversation.
The idea is to be able to see at a glance chat with the people who matter most to you without having to search through the rest, being in some way similar to Telegram folders. According to WaBetaInfo, this filter is being enabled for a few users with WhatsApp version 2.24.12.7 beta on Android and is expected to reach more users in the coming weeks.
