WhatsApp is announcing the introduction of the “Favorites” filter for chats and calls. This brand feature lets you save all of your contacts you love in one place for easy access without needing the search feature for contacts or scrolling through an ever-growing list of chats in use and call logs that have recently been updated. This feature is rolling out gradually and is expected to be available in the coming months across all platforms, including Android and iOS apps, web clients, and desktop apps.
WhatsApp Filter of your choice: What is it?
The instant messaging service owned by Meta has stated that its “favorites” filter will let users easily find people or groups that are most important in the topmost part of their call tab as a filter in chats. Favorites can be created directly through the filter known as “Favorites,” visible alongside the filters already in place – the unread and all groups. However, there is currently a choice of four filters for chats. On the tab for calls, you can select the opportunity to choose favorites added at the top of the call log.
