WhatsApp is a lot of people’s go-to messaging app. It’s especially useful for communicating with people around the world and for group chats. If you’re like me, and your WhatsApp is a bit disorganized, then this new feature rolling out will be extremely helpful to you.
WhatsApp announced in a blog post it is adding custom Lists to the app. With Lists, you can now filter your chats with customs categories that you can name and organize yourself. Such as a list for family, work, or neighbors. This new feature is a great way of organizing all the different chats you have on WhatsApp, so you can easily find them when you need them, rather than just having to scroll through all your chats.
