And WhatsApp knows it. Therefore, the Meta-owned platform wants to make it easier to find the chat you are looking for, the contact or group that really matters to you and to whom you want to talk, without having to browse through dozens of chats until you find the one.
WhatsApp now has a new filter for conversations: Favorites
The latest WhatsApp update includes a new filter for the “Favorites” category. From this update, it is possible Mark as favorites the contacts and groups that matter most to usso you can always access it quickly from this tab.

Now a fourth option has been added, Favorites. The conversations found in this section will be those that we have added manually, from each of the chat windows that we want to include. For example, if you want to include a friend or family member, you can do so from their own chat window. Since then, The conversation will still be available in the Favorites tab
Favorite threads are not only available for chat windows, but They are also highlighted in the calls section of the request. In this tab, your favorite contacts and groups are at the top, directly above all recent call history.
