WhatsApp introduces the special lists feature it developed to streamline the messaging experience. This feature stands out as an improved version of the chat filters announced at the beginning of the year and allows users to organize their chats more effectively. While private lists offer the opportunity to collect messages under certain categories for those with intense messaging traffic, determining each list with its own title provides faster access to the desired conversation.
With this new feature, WhatsApp enables users to create chat lists under different headings such as family, work, friend groups. This listing system makes it easy to find targeted conversations without getting lost in the message box. This feature, which is seen as an advantageous solution especially for users who want to separate communications between work and private life, allows users who are busy chatting to quickly find important correspondence. This innovation, tested in the beta version of WhatsApp for Android, aims to simplify users’ interactions and offers an effective solution for those with heavy message traffic.
WhatsApp users can create a special list by clicking the “+” icon at the top of the “Chats” tab. These lists, where group chats can be added as well as personal chats, make it easier to communicate under different categories at work or in the social environment. For example, a user can bring together both group chats with colleagues and individual job conversations in a list called “Work.” Adding or removing new contacts to this list can be done by pressing for a long time, so the list can be constantly updated.
This customizable listing feature provided by WhatsApp helps users organize their private or business correspondence. While it is a common problem for important conversations to be overlooked, especially in situations where group chats are frequently held for business purposes, this new feature allows you to quickly organize conversations. Additionally, another update that WhatsApp is testing will be the ability to add emojis to users’ lists; Thus, faster access can be achieved with an icon according to the title of the list.
The maximum limit set by WhatsApp for lists has been announced as 20. This limit was determined to prevent complexity within the application, especially for users who need a large number of lists. Each list can be given a special title, and these titles make it easier to identify the lists. Users can manage their chat lists from the settings section, and a filtering system that simplifies access to each list becomes visible in the top bar.
WhatsApp will distribute the distribution gradually
This feature, which is currently available to a certain number of beta users, will reach a wider user base in the coming weeks. WhatsApp’s gradual rollout of this update is considered as a strategy that aims to gradually improve the user experience. In addition, innovations such as a button that allows quickly marking conversations as read and augmented reality (AR) effects in video calls are among the other features the company has recently announced.
