WhatsApp begins testing filters in searches in its beta

WhatsApp betas are constantly being updated. A few weeks ago the Communities were officially announced, a meeting point for large groups in which to integrate all the conversations through different groups and conversations united in these Communities. WhatsApp also officially launched reactions a few days ago. But the most curious thing about all this is that news is always released in the beta. On this occasion, WhatsApp has started testing search filters for individual profiles since in his time the beta Business already integrated them. When will we have these filters with us?

Filters for searches will come to WhatsApp for everyone

WhatsApp Business accounts received some time ago filters for searches. This tool was displayed when accessing the search engine. These filters made it possible to find certain cats according to certain characteristics that they encountered. Some of these features include groups, unread, contacts, and uncontacts. In this way we can quickly find the one we are looking for among all the cats we have if we have an idea of ​​what we want to find.

The new beta of WhatsApp for iOS includes these filters in standard account searches, as commented from WABetaInfo. In other words, they want to bring the filters to all users. However, the feature brings a small concept change that will improve usability. From WhatsApp Business to access the filters it is necessary to access the search engine and once inside the search apply the filters. However, the feature for standard accounts they will include the home screen filters where we find all our chats.

This feature is being tested on WhatsApp for iOS, Android, and desktop. However, being a test and being available in the beta program we also don’t know if it will launch permanently or when. What is clear is that the commitment to keep updating the app with improvements and new functions is becoming more and more real in the messaging app.
