Chat Filters on WhatsApp
Chat Filters on WhatsApp allow you to quickly find your chats using three pre-set filters: All, Unread, and Groups. When a filter is selected, it’s highlighted. Filters remain applied until you change the filter view, or exit and re-open WhatsApp.
It’s important to note that filter names are pre-set and can’t be changed. Also, chats can’t be recategorised or organised within the filters.
Chat Filters are currently rolling out, and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks. So, if you haven’t received the Chat Filters yet, just wait a little while.
