WhatsApp: finding messages is now easier with its new search filters tool

WhatsApp announced this Tuesday that it has enabled filters to help users have more organized chats, find contact conversations more quickly and navigate through messages more efficiently.

To start, users can choose between three chat filters that will appear at the top of the conversations list: “All”, “Unread” and “Groups”, which can be selected with just a tap.

In “All”, users will have the default view of all messages and “Unread” is the “perfect option” for when you want to see which conversations you need to catch up on or which ones you need to reply to, explains WhatsApp.

This last option displays messages that are marked by the user as unread or that have not yet been opened.

The “Groups” filter is a highly requested feature, depending on the application. “Now all your group chats will be organized in one place, so it’ll be easier to find your favorites, whether it’s your weekly family dinner or planning your next vacation. Subgroups of communities will also be included here.”

“Opening WhatsApp and finding the right conversation should be a quick, fluid and simple process. As people do more and more things on WhatsApp, it is more important than ever to be able to access your messages quickly.”

Thus, these new chat filters have been launched so that users can do so without having to scroll through the entire inbox, summarizes the messaging network.

“Deploying chat filters in WhatsApp so you can quickly find important messages,” Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Meta, has written both on his Facebook page and through his WhatsApp channel.

The company believes the filters will make it easier for people to stay organized and find the most important conversations, and will allow them to navigate through messages more efficiently.

This feature has already started rolling out to users today and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
